After Nobis, the deluge. Illinois Fullback Jim Grabowski, the No. 1 choice of the A.F.L.'s newborn Miami Dolphins, signed (for $250,000) with the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers-not even bothering to entertain a bid from New York Jets Owner David ("Sonny") Werblin, who persuaded the Dolphins to deed him the rights to Grabowski at the last minute.

In one donnybrook following a funeral, Bond slugs it out with the widow-actually a male adversary-and lifts himself up, up and away by backpack jet. Still more dazzling is a climactic, blue-green underwater battle between Largo's men, wearing black rubber wet suits, and the brave lads from Our Side, parachuting to the fray in flag...

One of his legs is doubled up behind him in an improbable affectedly polite way. Clear bright-green bits of stiffened froth, like glass, are stuck around his mouth . . and the cloud of his odor is a chariot in itself...
