...sure, the press has generally been a willing instrument. At times, reporters seem even more preoccupied with Kissinger's image than he is. All it took was a few well-publicized dates with such Hollywood lovelies as Mario Thomas and Samantha Eggar to establish Kissinger as a "secret swinger." When Kissinger's role is less engaging, newsmen tend to look the other way. The press scarcely dwelt on Kissinger's embarrassing 1973 interview with Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci, in which he saw himself as a "cowboy-alone astride his horse."

It has the benefit of Samantha Eggar in the Gertrude Lawrence-Deborah Kerr role, and Yul Brynner in the Yul Brynner-Yul Brynner role, even if it does make the Orient all too scrutable...
Also on CBS, Anna and the King of Siam, which has seen every other incarnation, will turn up as a series called Anna and the King. The schoolteacher will be played by Samantha Eggar; the King by the actor who took the role in Broadway and film musicals and seems to hold a patent on it: Yul Brynner...
