...Napoleon Solo's shaving-cream can and lighter escape in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. [Jan. 29] is the perfect explanation to the people who ask why I take my cigarettes and lighter to the bath: one never knows when the children (Thrush agents, all) may lock...
...Granted that Napoleon Solo may be a good imitation of James Bond, but don't ever equate Vaughn with Connery. They are as different as-well, to use a Bond-style analogy, 1951 and 1957 vintage Burgundies. They might have come from the same vine, but gentlemen, one is so much more mellow, mature and smoo-ooth...
Gradually fresh bills in New Franc denominations replaced the old bills, but the French government still kept tinkering. After only two years in circulation, the old 100 New Franc bill, showing Napoleon, was replaced by a new 100-franc bill showing the bewigged head of the 17th century poet-playwright Pierre Corneille. The Banque de France has lately displayed a preference for literary men over generals and politicians-Voltaire last year replaced Richelieu on the 10-franc note, and Racine replaced Henri IV on the 50. But Frenchmen are now complaining that the new 100-franc Corneille note is confusingly...
...after witnessing a scene like that, could be captious enough to ask why Solo took a cigarette lighter in there with him in the first place? Certainly not any of the 20 million steady fans who watch Napoleon Solo on NBC. For he is The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the most popular new hero on the television scene, and he whirls across the world as a special agent for an organization that quells the forces of evil. U.N.C.L.E. stands for United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, and it is actually a private FBI. Its producers, in fact, refer to Solo...
Black Cherry. Napoleon Solo, the hero, has his prototype too. He has been called 0061, because he is TV's approximation of James Bond. Bond is not hard to copy, however, and-given the mass audience of television-the actor who plays Solo may soon be even more celebrated than Sean Connery, who plays Bond in the movies. The U.N.C.L.E. man's real name is Robert Vaughn. He is 32, and he is on his way to his first million. Impoverished a couple of years ago, he now has increasing herds of livestock and several gas wells...
