...sort of rich man's Fu Manchu, Dr. No is one of the less forgettable characters in modern fiction. He is 6 ft. 6, and looks like "a giant venomous worm wrapped in grey tin-foil." For hands he has "articulated steel pincers," which he habitually taps against his contact lenses, making a "dull ting." Dr. No's hobby is torture ("I am interested in pain"). Bond survives Dr. No's inventive obstacle course from electric shocks to octopus hugs, buries his tormentor alive under a small mountain of guano, and rescues the girl from a fate...
...still another view of Asia, not panoramic but miniaturist, with the focus on individual Asians. Unpretentious U.S. Journalist Christopher Rand, an old Asia hand, snaps some memorable candids of the famed and humble, ranging from Vinoba Bhave, India's post-Gandhi Gandhi (TIME, May 11, 1953), to Mr. Fu, a Hong Kong opium connoisseur with a palate as refined as that of the most finicky Western vinophile.

Tu Fu, easily one of China...
...This Tartar woman is fer me," drawls Big John through his Fu Manchu mustache as Susan ("much woman") Hayward goes dawdling sensuously through the desert on a litter borne by sweating slaves. He kills her guards and carries her off. "Know this, woman," gruffs Wayne, looking about as uncomfortable as a right tackle caught reading Swinburne, "I take you fer wife." But as he pulls Hayward hayward, Hayward pulls away. "For me," she snarls, "there is no ease while you live, Mongol." Says John: "Yer beooduful in yer wrath." He takes her on a trip to the court...
...only phase of education that in any way lives up to Mao's original promises is technology. The liberal arts colleges have disappeared, and China's 201 universities have been turned into 182 science and engineering schools. Some of these teach only one subject. Peking's Fu Jen University, once run by Roman Catholics, teaches only biology. One medical school specializes only in diseases of North
