Johnny Rivers – Secret Agent Man
An evening pause: This song seems fitting considering the fake Russian indictments by Mueller and the kerfuffle over the Trump-Putin press conference during their summit, all of which have been as silly as this song.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Big fan of the 60’s era spy-craze genre on American TV. “Man From Uncle,” was my favorite.

I’d put forth the proposition, this version better captures the bizzaro-ness & de-evolution of the Russian derangement syndrome playing out on a daily basis.

wayne: I prefer the original. I also would recommend the series itself, very highly. It had muscle, and told stories about the cold war and the bad Soviets before it was politically incorrect to do so.
Mr. Z.,
I hear ya, have the “Secret Agent” (aka Danger Man) boxed set.

“Nimoy & Shatner’s first appearance together, 1964’s “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” ep. “The Project Strigas Affair.” Shatner played a pest control business owner recruited to convince Communist spies (of which Nimoy is one) that he has the secret to a nerve gas formula. Also in the clip: Robert Vaughn, Peggy Ann Garner, Narda Onyx and Werner Klemperer.”
