Delphi Bureau(1972)

The Delphi Bureau is an American spy drama that aired on ABC during the 1972–73 season as part of the rotating anthology series The Men. Laurence Luckinbill stars as Glenn Garth Gregory, a government operative with a photographic memory who works for a shadowy U.S. agency tasked with counter-espionage missions. His only contact with the organization's mysterious leadership is Sybil Van Lowreen, a Washington D.C. society hostess who serves as his liaison. Each episode features a clever framing device: a limerick that builds line by line across the show's segments, completing only in the final act. The series blends espionage intrigue with a playful narrative structure that rewards viewers who stick with the full rotation.
