...pursuance of his duty. Bond moved easily through all levels of society, the .25 Beretta automatic snug in its shoulder holster, and was as conspicuous for his catalogue of brand names as for his consumption of alcohol, racing cars and gourmet meals. Possibly due to his early upbringing in Pett Bottom, near Canterbury, Bond was an inveterate womanizer, and his tastes were truly catholic, ranging from such blue-veined aristocrats as Tatiana Romanova to ex-lesbians such as Pussy Galore. Though thoroughly amoral, Bond nevertheless served the public good-a combination that proved irresistible to an age dedicated to affluence...

Dr. Pett, 43, will learn whether his weight (151 lbs.) is, as he thinks...

...strip has ever matched the pulling power of British Cartoonist Norman Pett's Jane (see cut), the uninhibited comic-stripper who got her start during the war by entrancing British troops, as a sort of Miss Lace without lace or much of anything else. Jane manages to get down to bra and panties at least once a week in London's tabloid Daily Mirror. Fleet Street agrees that she is the only strip that actually boosts a paper's sales. Yet Jane flopped in the U.S. last year: "I'm afraid," said a British syndicate salesman...
