...women are fondled with equal ardor, though sex is not nearly as important as the inflicting and suffering of physical pain. Indeed, Amis hits an almost pornographic intensity as his Bond gets his eardrums probed with a meat skewer, his septum stimulated by a broom straw, and his frontal lobe pummeled with an incessant and derivative yak about the spiritual union between the tormented and the tormentor. The pedantic sadist is Colonel Sun of the People's Liberation Army of China, who wants to blow up some Russians and then blame the incident on the West. Bond...

Then came the era of fair-weather girls. Preoccupied with their own frontal systems, they postured before the weather maps in the latest gowns and spun out sultry spiels. NBCs Tedi Thurman used to peek from behind a shower curtain to coo: "The Temperature in New York...
...distorted proportions that it has, when the free condemn the protectors of the freedom they share, enjoy and abuse, and curse the resisters of totalitarian aggression (and it is irrelevant whether the aggressors are North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese or Eskimos, whether their aggression takes the form of a frontal assault, blitzkrieg, treacherous tactics or the barbarous slaughtering of innocents), and dishonor the noble flag under which millions have been and are being saved from tyranny for the fourth time this century-one can only marvel in alarm at the subtle efficiency with which international Communism has succeeded in corrupting...

His wife, in the adjoining bedroom, calls out something. Suddenly the man appears, stark naked, toothbrush in hand, saying, "You know I can't hear you when the water's running." According to the playwright...
...line Marine officer in Viet Nam, and it must be doubled in spades being both at the same time. Nevertheless, 1st Lieut. Gerard Nugent, 24, apparently has the situation very well in hand. Commanding Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion 3rd Marine Division, he led his men in a frontal assault on a Communist training camp 20 miles from Danang that killed about 70 Viet Cong, then moved on to silence a sniper nest in high trees near Battalion H.Q. before calling in helicopters to evacuate his wounded. Verdict from Captain R. T. Sheridan, Nugent's battalion-operations officer...
