Why do the payments Jim is making have to be such a dire secret from his wife? …. Why hasn't he met the father of the football player, and sorted the matter out from the beginning?</div> <bR> <div> These kinds of holes are usually found in the worst sort of television, and the script isn't really salvageable via a few changes, since each ludicrous premise rests on the one before it.</div> <bR> <div> A real shame, as any episode which has Paul returning to San Francisco and contacting old friends contains so many possibilities relevant to the heart of the series.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://run4.us/journal/7_14november65.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://run4.us/journal/7_14november65.ht"><IMG SRC="170f242c0.jpg" border=0 width="804" height="44" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> and watch a video clip from this episode on the same page</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1342" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 270 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18cfa5dc0.jpg" border=0 width="165" height="220" ALT="Peter Greaves In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Peter Greaves</div> <div> as Jim Carlson</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d7a5dc0.jpg" border=0 width="165" height="220" ALT="Michael Dunn In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Michael Dunn as</div> <div> George Kowal</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d09cdc0.jpg" border=0 width="156" height="220" ALT="Delphi Lawrence In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Delphi Lawrence</div> <div> as Ellen Carlson</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d294dc0.jpg" border=0 width="148" height="220" ALT="Robert Nichols In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Robert Nichols</div> <div> as Crof</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d3acdc0.jpg" border=0 width="172" height="220" ALT="Pamela Curran In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Pamela Curran</div> <div> as Clara</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d4a3dc0.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="220" ALT="Kent McWhiter In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Kent McWhiter</div> <div> as Mike Ramsey</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d68edc0.jpg" border=0 width="142" height="220" ALT="Gary Shaw In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Gary Shaw as</div> <div> the Mailboy</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18d593dc0.jpg" border=0 width="147" height="220" ALT="Tom Harmon In Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Tom Harmon as</div> <div> the Announcer</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Next Episode:  <A HREF="sexobject.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Sex Object">The Sex Object</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0dc96450.png" border=0 width="150" height="69" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
