...scraps, Stevens has had only one accident-a torn fingernail. Darren (Mike Hammer) McGavin has also had only one accident: a broken rib. Still, the producers prefer the standard technique of organizing camera angles so that stunt men can take over. (The stunt men get paid well; they can afford an occasional puffed lip.) The heroes must survive, pressed, currycombed and unscrambled.' for next week's case...
...recognition of the networks' irresponsibility (notably their willingness to let packagers control much of their entertainment fare) put in question the ethics of the television industry in general. For the first time, the U.S. was forced to think about the philosophy that lies behind the picture tube as well as the character of those who sit in front...

Officially on active duty, military Rhodesmen draw full lieutenant's pay as well as the $2,100 annual Rhodes stipend. Attached to the U.S. embassy in London, they get cut-rate PX privileges. They can dress in well-groomed contrast to their colleagues; they can buy cars and hi-fi sets, live in tonier style than all but the richest bloods of wealthy Christ Church College.
