...Marco Pallis, whose Peaks and Lamas was a bestselling account of his Tibetan mountain climbing in the 1930s, and Diplomat Hugh Richardson, who had served as chief of the British mission in Lhasa for eight years before and after World War II. They compiled lists of Rampa inaccuracies, e.g., mention of gold candlesticks, unknown in Tibet; description of Rampa's mother wearing a single earring, a privilege restricted to male officials of a certain rank. Joining forces with Austrian Author Heinrich Harrer (Seven Years in Tibet), Pallis and Richardson decided to go to work on three-eyed Rampa with...

"With as many as ten guests in the house," said Nagel, "you can imagine how many sheets and pillowcases we had, not to mention towels." Studio One's commercials were so colossal ("We used every single bit of the whole studio," said Betty) that they had to be taped in advance so there would be room to do the rest of the show live.
