...themselves to saving the Indians. Orlando is burly, harsh and volatile. Claudio, idealistic and introverted, is so lost in an irreconcilable vision of the noble savage, the savagery of ignoble civilization, that he periodically retreats further into the jungle to read philosophy in a native hammock. There are the diamond diggers of Aragarcas, their skin made as hard as aluminum by insect bites, who blow each bonanza on preposterous luxuries sold to them at incredible prices by Levantine traders: mink coats for jungle prostitutes, a Cadillac shipped in pieces and reassembled to run back and forth on 100 yards...

They strike a gymnastic blow for Women's Lib by effortlessly bouncing Bond, the sexist pig, off the four walls of a luxurious desert hideaway...
