...week, a few Army Signal Corps technicians showed up discreetly in the President's office, recorded the satellite message that Ike himself had written, tucked it away till it was needed at Cape Canaveral. Even the button pusher who fired the Atlas from the Cape blockhouse did not know that the bird contained the tape recording, or that it had been set to orbit. Most of the others in the launching crew were equally in the dark and equally furious during the first moments of flight, when they noted from instruments that the Atlas was not heading...

All Peter Gunn's have to do is wince while their man absorbs his beatings. Usually they know did what to whom, and they can be that Pete will survive with his features unscrambled. While the mayhem builds up though, the show offers a fine sound track. Jazzman Henry Mancini, who boasts some 50 movie credits, composes scores for each show, leads leman band through a whining, insinuating...
