Searches of John's two-story brick-and-wood home in Norfolk, as well as his houseboat, single-engine plane, camper, two cars and the offices of his three private-detective agencies, turned up a collection of gadgets and paraphernalia worthy of both Inspector Clouseau and James Bond. It included a clerical collar, fake IDs and business cards, a .357 magnum pistol, a walking cane that contains a gun, another that conceals a dagger and yet a third that holds hidden vials. When authorities opened his safe-deposit box, No. 257 at a Norfolk branch of the Bank of Virginia...
...record, this is the 14th James Bond film and the seventh to star Roger | Moore. The opening thrill sequence is once again a ski chase. The most exotic (or should one say grotesque?) of his several love interests (or should one say sex objects?) is the black pantheresque model, Grace Jones. The villain, joylessly played by Christopher Walken, this time schemes improbably to blast open the San Andreas Fault, wiping out Silicon Valley so that he can corner the microchip market. If the picture did not carry the credits of Writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson and Director John...
...addition to this questionable asset, the limo has also allowed them to pull some gags.

Nonetheless, over the past decade the world has been catching occasional, disturbing glimpses of clandestine dealings and espionage coups that have left trails of suspicion leading inexorably back to Kahuta. All those James Bond operations have conveyed the same unsettling message: even though the government of President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq firmly denies it, Pakistan appears to be developing the capacity to build an atom bomb...
...traditionalism, as radicals are supposed to do, Glass was in revolt against radicalism itself: the overintellectualized and emotionally arid music that had dominated contemporary composition for decades. By writing in a deceptively simple, joyously propulsive new style that came to be called minimalism, he hoped to restore the historic bond between composer and listener. Unlikely as it seemed, while bouncing along the potholed streets of Manhattan or dodging the drunks in his chosen neighborhood of New York City's Lower East Side, Glass was confidently engaged in the most stimulating musical revolution of the postwar years...
