Some editors warned it could escalate the Indochina war, risk a confrontation with the Soviet Union and China, or fail to alter Vietnam's leadership prospects.

ITT Stockholders Meet Under Tight Memphis Security
Police at the Shearton Peabody Hotel in Memphis set up tight security as antiwar activists threatened to disrupt the ITT annual stockholders meeting. A small group sought to force disclosure of all defense contracts, while ITT denied building offensive weapons and prepared to present Harold Geneen's annual report to stockholders. The firm reported over 7 billion dollars in revenues last year and spans businesses from rent-a-car to baking and hotels. A Philadelphia federal judge allowed the Memphis meeting with voting restrictions on three of ITT’s twenty directors.
