Several books on "M:I" I've read also point to the move as cost-cutting since more stories could be set in Los Angeles rather than having to fake an Eastern bloc country to infiltrate. The "Syndicate" stories are mostly inferior in several respects. -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
