...hibernator or chem lab wonk. The Bond canon, ranging from the sublime (Live and Let Die) to the ridiculous (The Spy Who Loved Me), is a perennial paperback bestseller series, and on the merest hint the "sneak preview" of From Russia With Love at the Harvard Square Theater a fortnight ago proved to be the biggest sellout of the year...

Since March 5, 800 Brisbane butchers have been on strike, and fortnight ago a strike of 2,700 mail sorters piled up 16 million letters and packages in the Sydney post office. Strikes have not only cost workers almost $2,000,000 in wages since 1964 began but have drained union treasuries of other millions in legal fees, strike penalties and member benefits...
