...summer repeat. Even at that top dollar. Paramount reportedly loses about $30,000 a week on the multistarred, action-crammed production. Mission will ultimately be a moneymaker-but only after it goes off network and the studio is then allowed to syndicate second and subsequent rerun rights. Thus, though the show may well be renewed, its producers would probably not grieve overmuch if it should selfdestruct...

Such on-the-air pollution continued until the Kennedy and King assassinations caused a tide of parental and congressional revulsion from violence. By that time, broadcasters had evolved a highly sensible plan. If "adult" evening programming was immature, why not allow it to rerun during the children's hours, where it might meet its intellectual level? Thus the Flintstones' "Pa's a Sap" approach now runs every day. Bewitched is a daily staple; so are The Beverly Hillbillies and F Troop. Today the rerun is no longer a method of picking up the small change; it is programmed into children...

Last week, in a rerun of that abortive flight, the Soviets had far better luck. Their unmanned Luna 16 landed on the moon, gathered up a small sample of lunar soil, took off again and returned its cargo safely to earth. The entire mission was an impressive technological tour de force that gave the Russians a sorely needed boost in morale (a typical Muscovite-in-the-street comment: "See, we're not so far behind the Americans"). NASA's acting chief, George Low, sent his congratulations to Moscow, and called the first unmanned recovery of extraterrestrial material...

...hives." Karen's voice resembles that of Eydie Gorme; she sings with a wobbly tremolo for effect, but her delivery can be lovely when she forgets to belt. Since Martin, and in addition to Vegas, she has played three Tonight shows, Ed Sullivan four times (one will be rerun July 26) and signed a $250,000 record contract with Decca. In accepted success-story fashion, she has moved her father, a TV repairman, and her mother, who worked as a hospital clerk to pay for her singing lessons, from their Bronx walk-up apartment to Manhattan's expensive...
