Solo (played by Robert Vaughn) is set to battle weekly against the malevolent members of THRUSH, which stands for bads and is an international organization "with no allegiance to any country or ideal." Last week THRUSH was trying to assassinate the Premier of a new African nation, who was visiting a nuclear chemical plant near Washington.

Backed by Beirut's Intra Bank and its shrewd chairman, Yusuf Bedas (who owns a 55% share...

Right from the ominous opening trombones, it is clear we are in for something impressive, a far cry from the satirical score he provided for Beyond the Fringe. Woodwinds, percussion, harp, a long viola solo, harpsichord, and even wordless voices--all function with telling effect...
