...Granted that Napoleon Solo may be a good imitation of James Bond, but don't ever equate Vaughn with Connery. They are as different as-well, to use a Bond-style analogy, 1951 and 1957 vintage Burgundies. They might have come from the same vine, but gentlemen, one is so much more mellow, mature and smoo-ooth...
...high-pressured tempo of a relatively new institution still on shakedown maneuvers. Academy exams, like those at approximately one-fifth of the nation's colleges, are conducted on the honor system, without proctors. At Colorado Springs, students may take the same tests days apart.

...Somehow (how in the world did it happen?) Johnson has been cast-perhaps has cast himself-in the role of the Great Prestidigitator, the Miracle Worker. Step up and watch him, Ladies and Gentlemen. See how nimble, see how quick. Watch the incredible performance of this master . . . And because it is a performance we watch, with fascination, with admiration, in the end perhaps with acceptance tinged with boredom. Such a man can carry votes with him; he cannot lift our hearts nor stir, our brain...
