...Soviet agent sent to lure Bond to his doom was a voluptuous siren named Tatiana Romanova; though her "body belonged to the state," Boudoirsman Bond swiftly restored it to private enterprise. In one adventure, he did away with "the first of the great Negro criminals" who used voodoo the better to serve Marxism. On another occasion, he liquidated a sadistic Russian agent who had secretly taken over a Caribbean isle and was all ready to divert U.S. missiles launched from nearby Cape Canaveral. In one of his most brilliant coups, Bond thwarted a SMERSH fiend named Auric Goldfinger, who tried...
...them, and the hideous blockhouse, soul-destroying buildings, which are somehow typical of modern Iron Curtain architecture." In a mammoth exposition hall just outside Zagreb, Welles set up the 850 office desks, 850 secretaries and 850 clattering typewriters among which Kafka's hero, K, lived out his doom.

...eagle grounds itself in disgust after colliding with a construction workers' crane, and the locals try to fly the bird on a leash. The "X-er"-the man whose job it is to paint big Xs on the windows of condemned buildings-feels himself the personification of doom, gets so worked up over X-ing out so many Fifth Avenue mansions and pleasant brownstones that he has a nervous breakdown. The most helpless, indomitable. charming ragamuffin of the lot is Leroy, a young Negro boy who plays tunes on glass bowls, sells Bibles, and talks...
