...Soviet aggression against Czechoslovakia, Tito's old guerrilla system has been unobtrusively infused with new life. Groups of young men disappear from their villages for a few days into the mountains, where old partisans and army experts show them the location of arms caches, teach them how to use the weapons and instruct them in the use of radio transmitters. In addition, thousands of workers are being organized into irregular militia at their plants.

Can they really mean it-using this sort of stuff on TV in 1968? Laugh-In's producers know bad jokes when they use them. There is an element of camp and reverse sophistication in this, reminiscent of making a cult of Charlie Chan movies and Captain Marvel comic books. Besides, the outrageous jokes are thrown into the machinery of the show to create contrast and surprise, and to give...
