...reactor was a Kiwi, an obsolete experimental nuclear rocket engine built at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and used only for brief tests. It was set on an expendable railroad car on Nevada's desolate Jackass Flats and surrounded with a motley array of test objects-nuclear fuels, explosives, radiation detectors, air samplers. A stout steel net was hung to catch any flying debris, and the scientists retired to the control building two miles from the condemned power plant to wait for a northeast wind that would carry any radioactive fallout away from Nevada's inhabited areas...
Speculation & Sisal. Lonrho now controls assets worth more than $56 million, employs 30,000 Africans and 2,000 whites in countries that range the political and racial spectrum from apartheid South Africa to black nationalist Zambia.

Lonrho is also planning an $11 million fertilizer plant in Rhodesia...

...grandiose consumer toys, an array of pseudoscientific gear, and stylish spas or hideouts are only sofascinating. By the end, no one really gives a damn whether the whole town of Fort Knox is gassed to death or whether Goldfinger does finally break the bank. Will the scene be more spectacular than the gilded ladies, golden Rolls-Royces, and pernicious laser rays which preceded it? Since the answer is no, the movie ends with an anti-climatic thud (or, rather, rustle; Bond and girl assume their usual, final positions beneath a parachute...
