...Eliade has no peer. A pipe-smoking polymath who speaks six languages and writes fluently in three, Eliade, 58, is a prolific novelist as well as chairman of Chicago's history of religion department. His new book, Mephistopheles and the Androgyne: Studies in Religious Myth and Symbol (Sheed & Ward; $5), demonstrates why he is probably the world's foremost living interpreter of spiritual myths and symbolism.

Accordingly, he handed immobile-faced Adam West the Batman role and directed him to give the cameras "eternal squareness, rigidity." The instructions, from the evidence, were hardly necessary. To play Robin, Dozier chose Burt Ward, a 20-year-old water skier whose reading of "Gleeps!" will not be matched in this age, moving one acting teacher to call Batman "a film anthology of things not to do." For arch-villains in subsequent episodes, Dozier has signed Burgess Meredith (The Penguin) and Cesar Romero (The Joker). The talk...
