Joseph C. Harsch recalls a prior Nazi Germany press tour and contrasts it with a current American defense industry trip sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers. He notes the American trip is low on pomp, honest, and allows frank reporting, while the German tour forced favors, lavish banquets, and controlled impressions.
