...many characters in Thunderball are knifed, shot, speared, strangled, gassed, drowned, fried, eaten, or blown to smithereens that one almost dares to hope that its hero will be accidentally murdered. He is not, however, which is unfortunate, since James Bond's death is the one thing that might have redeemed this exceedingly tiresome film. If Thunderball has more sex and violence than any of its predecessors, it has less suspense, characterization, and credibility, and I can discover no wit or imagination...
...efficient, 511,500-acre ranch near the Cerro lands was purchased two years ago by government officials, who parceled out most of it among 14 land-hungry Indian communities. Since then, 100,000 of the ranch's original 160,000 head of sheep and cattle have been eaten, given away, stolen or destroyed in one way or another; production is less than a third of its original level, while the government, hampered by lack of technical help, struggles to make modern ranchers of the new tenants who cannot read, and often cannot even speak Spanish...

If you find yourself without food, pull him out and eat him." A poisonous snake can also be eaten, said Weaver, "if you cut his head off just below the poison sacs." Pointing out that rattlesnake meat is "considered a great delicacy" (it sells for 350 an ounce), Weaver assured his gagging audience: "Snakes are about the sweetest, tenderest meat you'll find...
Since then, she has withdrawn to her home in Lausanne, submerged herself in her two favorite occupations, eating and working. A gourmet with exotic tastes, Capucine has been known to consume anything that has flavor. She has eaten chicken-entrail stew in Cambodia, honey bats in Mauritius, and sheep eyes in North Africa. Despite her exotic intake, she remains a model of gauntness. "I only gain weight when I am terribly depressed," she maintains. Apparently, there is nothing depressing Capucine at present, except the gnawing feeling that the pussycat may be keeping so cool that as a comedienne...
