...first starring role in the tenth James Bond film. Bach considers Bond "a male chauvinist pig who uses girls to shield him against bullets." But she rather likes her liberated-woman role in The Spy Who Loved Me: Anya, a major in the Soviet secret service. Actor Roger Moore, 48, sounds correct but cool about his new costar.

Their book is a splendid armchair challenge, properly made, properly obsessive. For non-cavers who read it, the sensation of being trapped in Mother Earth's vermiform appendix is persuasively real, and the impulse to run gasping into the open air is strong...
