THE ASSASSIN WHO GAVE UP HIS GUN

Breckner is the cool, detached hired gun who works for an indeterminate international combine known as ""The Department."" His assignments here are to kill world leaders associated with peace but after the first two successful completions (Martin Luther King and Gandhi symbols) he falls in love with the wife of the third, gives up his gun and is inevitably eliminated. Much philosophic sophistry in a meager, unreasonable plot. Perhaps Mr. Cunningham should stick to his own first name brands.
