Pineapples are flourishing on the chilly mountain peaks of Tibet. Lush acreage has appeared in the desert of Mongolia. Red China has produced a miraculous substance that can enrich its soil and abolish hunger. To devise a way to steal the Chinese secret, Rus sian, American and British intelligence authorities confer. Their solution: send in Gregory Peck...
...best sequence, Eddie Betancourt, the 12-year-old son of a farm worker, created a haunting atmosphere by juxtaposing scenes of living and dead birds encountered on his photographic tour. Christopher Merry, a disarming six-year-old from Los Angeles, used both his own drawings and shots of lush foliage to make a delightful film about an imaginary island he would some day like to own because "taxes are too high in the country."

There the specialists attempt to track down the unknown microcosm, identify it as a source of contamination, and produce...

The level of the prose is droningly simplistic-a prose style only partly justified by the fact that the main characters are laconic scientists. The characterization of the scientists and the lush seem to have been retrieved from the memory bank of some tired computer. And the magic of the gadgetry gradually cloys and clutters in the mind...
