For years I have been trying to find a copy of Ben Wattenberg's wonderful opening scene in the episode on big business of his 1970s series "In Search of the Real America." He stands in a spooky, foggy, graveyard next to several tombstones. When we see the tombstones more closely, they have the names of big business corporate failures.
