...FROM U.N.C.L.E. (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Illya is mistaken for the son of Peter O'Toole in "The Arabian Affair"-perhaps the funniest bone U.N.C.L.E. has tickled this season. Repeat...
...more than a month, Canada's celebrated "Munsinger Affair" (TIME, March 25) had been the talk of the country. Last week it moved into the courtroom, as public hearings opened under Supreme Court Justice Wishart Flett Spence, 62. They would try to determine whether there had been a national security leak in the friendship of 36-year-old German Party Girl Gerda Munsinger with ministers of the former Conservative government.

Novelist Cohen is all spit and no polish. His anti-hero is a Canadian writer who has had a homosexual affair with a Member of Parliament, who himself slept with the writer's wife. Both politician and wife are now dead, he of syphilis and she of the results of crawling into the bottom of an elevator shaft and waiting for someone to press the down button. The antihero, left...
