 PS A Column On Things: Commentary On The 480
Eugene Burdick (Co-Author of THE UGLY AMERICAN) wrote this script in his futurist novel THE 480.
Nearly a decade earlier, in The Ninth Wave (1956), Burdick had detailed the abilities of a political manipulator to combine his Machiavellian approach to life ("fear plus hate equal power") with scientific polling methods and analysis to elect a governor of California.
In The 480, Burdick introduced the general public to the use of computers in politics-not to count votes and assess trends-but actually to prepackage a presidential candidate the public "wishes" to support.

 William Lederer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His best selling work, 1958's The Ugly American, was one of several novels co-written with Eugene Burdick.
Disillusioned with the style and substance of America's diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia, Lederer and Burdick openly sought to demonstrate their belief that American officials and civilians could make a substantial difference in Southeast Asian politics if they were willing to learn local languages, follow local customs and employ regional military tactics.
However, if American policy makers continued to ignore the logic behind these lessons, Southeast Asia would fall under Soviet or Chinese Communist influence.

This is the theme of Sidney Lumet's "Fail-Safe," a fictional drama based on the novel by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler.
Nevertheless, under Lumet's direction and Walter Bernstein's intelligent adaptation of Burdick's and Wheeler's novel, the film continues to have a lasting effect even after the events on screen have unfolded.
The film often warns that the automation of war is something that may make nuclear holocaust an unintentional consequence of such mass arming.
