That may well be the fate of Guillaume, the biggest spy caught in West Germany since World War II. West German officials reckon that Guillaume apparently had an unusually sophisticated mission: to serve as a warning from the East German regime that there are hidden dangers in detente. According to this reasoning, the East Germans have achieved the international recognition they want from détente, but now refuse to open their country to more contacts with the West.

European planemakers have stalled out while trying to intercept a larger share of the U.S.-dominated world market. The French sank $130 million into the Mercure mid-range commercial jet, sold only ten of them, and most likely will abandon the plane. A similar fate may well await the Concorde supersonic jetliner, on which much more British and French prestige is riding.

Hunt, as Fuller's foster-brother, trying to avoid his Ruddigorish fate without needing to die early, is just remarkable--perfectly solemn and apparently joyfully in on the joke at the same time. The whole production is like that--and it's certainly a joke worth being...
