Lilienthal recently arrived in Tokyo after a stay in Vietnam that coincided with the tet offensive. He said he believed that the much publicized communist drive was for the most part a Flop although it did have some economic Impact. He noted for example that it pretty Well wiped out the Young textile  said South Vietnam has the potential in resources human As Well As material to effect Quick economic recovery i the fighting stops.

Sometimes it is employed As a management consultant to private business. Sometimes donations. He said there is a feeling among vietnamese leaders that it i quite possible the americans might withdraw but this has in creased their sense of  the country has suffered tragically in the War Lilienthal said it is not ravaged and such things As Small Industry can be quickly  the country he said has not been Laid waste like the South during general Sherman s civil War March to the sea or devastated like the Somme Battlefield in world War i. Any other  their Worth As swingers of votes or persuaders for Mutual understanding among the races is debatable there is unimportant and largely unexplored aspect at stake. Every time an actor opens his Mouth publicly about a National or International Issue he lose some Box office support. Most actors will  it cannot be denied that Many super liberals shy away from John Wayne movies be cause he is a conservative re publican. Just As surely right Wing advocates won t get near Redgrave picture. In the end it boils Down to whether an actor s convictions about important issues override his own self interest namely Money top pictures and a Lon career. Most of the top Box office attractions keep their Mouths shut. Julie Andrews Sean con Nery Steve Mcqueen Elizabeth Taylor Rock Hudson David Niven Elvis Presley Dean Martin and Henry Fonda Are examples. Some of them have spoken upor asked to be counted but not at the Cost of placing their poli tics or social stands above their  same May be said of the most successful television stars Jackie Gleason Jim Nabors Lucille Ball Andy Griffith lome Greene and a dozen oth  interesting Case in Point is Paul Newman. He has been campaigning for sen. Eugene Mccarthy for the democratic presidential , Newman is one of the top Box office attractions i films.

Civil rights campaigner of the cold War i termed surf Ace noise9 by Bob ii Oyer is London Bureau chief London is a British lecturer on International relations believes historians of the21st Century will assess the ten Sion of the cold War years a superficial. I m inclined to think the future historian will ignore the surface noise and stress the Basic agreement that existed be tween East and West a. John Groom of the University of Lon Don said Here. Groom presented his hypothesis during a lecture to University of Southern califor Nia graduate students at South Ruislip air station i m not sure this theory incorrect but i think there is sufficient evidence to support it and i think it s a hypothesis which May stimulate discussion on the subject Groom said. My main aim is to get you to think outside the hostile Frame work that usually surrounds Dis Cussion of the East West con  pointed to what he termed the essential agreement Between Josef Stalin and win Ston Churchill on the division of Europe into soviet and Western spheres of influence at the endow world War ii. He said it is not difficult to regard russian policy since 1045 As essentially  think the reason for this is that Russia had her plate full with Eastern Europe Groom said the View of those who lived through the cold War tension of 1945-50 is bound to be quite different from the More detached impression of his  referred to the Mirror image concept the idea that each Side looked in a Mirror and saw the most hostile intentions of the other Side. He pointed to the growing importance of nato because of prolongation of the cold  said the idea behind american agreement to Hel Europe through the Marshall plan and nato was that the United states would assist if Europe eventually would help itself.
