...brought out their satiric vehicle, and it has served them quite well. Today they have fancy offices on Madison Avenue, plush brown carpet and lots of smoked glass (a/k/a/ executive hip) and like good businessmen they've diversified--going into records, off-Broadway shows, T-shirts, radio hours and whatnot. A few of their kids even helped start the once-hysterical Saturday Night Live. And while success has been good to them, it has also made them a little stale. The magazine is nowhere near as funny as it once was--unless, of course, it's just that its readers...

There are drug injections, escapes, captures, car chases, beatings, doublecrosses and whatnot. There are even two novelties: a woman kicked in the groin and a bit of blather about letting the Commie spies go, since everyone seems to be letting bygones be bygones these days. Within the limits of the genre, this stuff is handled well enough. It just seems terribly redundant, even...
