Which is not to say that the Bond lode is worked out. NBC's parody, Get Smart, proves to be a very viable Fleming entry, mainly because it dares to be healthily sick when the competition is all sickeningly healthy. Straight-faced nasal Comic Don Adams plays Idiot Agent Maxwell Smart, an 0 bungling desperately to become an 007. In the opening episode, he was pitted against Mr. Big, played by Dwarf Michael (Ship of Fools) Dunn. Smart received a phone call during a black-tie concert from a receiver in his shoe. Then he sat down in Dunn...
...would much rather be called a cuckold than be accused of having a faccia di tenore-the face of a tenor. In France, the proverb goes: "Stupid as a tenor, amorous as a baritone, drunk as a bass."

But the score, by Newley and Leslie Bricusse, has some good tunes, among them Feeling Good, sung with feeling by Gilbert Price, and Who Can I Turn To, the hit of the show...
This spring, Willie was having trouble breathing, so the Tigers ordered surgery to remove polyps from his nasal passage. Willie's nose has been bleeding off and on ever since. But last week he was batting .379-the second highest average in the American League-and 18 of his 36 hits have gone for extra bases. Tiger teammates now chant, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" every time he comes to bat, and Horton has responded by clouting nine home runs-seven of them tape-measure blasts that traveled at least...
