...ears such as The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction. But this year ABC had doped out Aubrey's own patterns and produced hits like the gimmicky Bewitched and the slyly prurient Peyton Place. Moreover, the outlook for next year was not good.

The request itself was certain to be approved, but in earlier meetings, Lesage had quibbled over the new formula for amending the constitution, and sought to use it as a lever to win more concessions from Pearson.
