It became a groan as Jimmy popped out the other side of the pile and thundered 71 yds. into the end zone. Before the day was out, dazed Dallas fans saw him sprint 62 yds. for another TD and riddle the Cowboy defenses for 232 yds. in 20 carries as Cleveland coasted to its sec ond straight victory, 41-24.

He may groan, but he will not be physically hurt. If he is disappointed when he leaves, he will at least emerge into a world where his job seems relatively tame, for he will have seen Doctor No, the first attempt to approximate on film the cosmic bravery, stupefying virility, six-acre brain, and deathproof nonchalance of Secret Agent James Bond-the President's favorite fictional hero...
