What Britain has, in fact, is the sorriest secret agent who ever peered through a potted palm. Operation Bandylegs is conceived and carried out by Stanley Farquhar (Lionel Jeffries), an insuperably respectable old bureaucrock with a brain about as subtle as a Mickey Mouse watch, less hair on his head than Sean Connery has in his left nostril, and a blithe belief that some fine day, if he faithfully munches his cornflakes and says sir to his superiors, he will become the sort of ice-cold secret operative who has vodka in his veins and comes out of his frightful...
...rarely seen at the "in" Restaurant-of-the-Month, never swings at the Racquet Club in Palm Springs. She doesn't play the tables at Vegas or pick up a cue in the billiard room of the Beverly Hills Daisy; where Frank Sinatra bides his time, she abides not.

To Rockefeller, the 25 G.O.P. Governors "provide a very unique starting point" for a comeback. But Rocky thought-and said repeatedly-that they should achieve a "consensus" on objectives and attitudes before they begin worrying about a candidate. After the umpteenth reference to "consensus"-which, after all, has become virtually a Lyndon Johnson copyright-he admitted: "I hate...
Last week the band was getting an extra push from other recording outfits who have rushed yet new versions of Winchester to the stores. RCA Victor's group, the Palm Beach Band Boys, is actually a Manhattan pickup combo led by an RCA executive who croons while holding his nose. He must be doing something right...
