...poignant truth: all actors' desperate neediness to win the appreciation and approval of the audience, which is anyone they meet.

There is no question about this scientifically. We have a wealth of data concerning, for example, androgenic anabolic steroids. I was the one who discovered the top secret papers in East Germany that show how researchers during the Cold War had evaluated steroid use point-by-point, dose-by-dose, examining how much had to be given at which intervals to be most effective. There exists similar evidence in the West.

After all, the fictional spy has kept abreast of technology, is keenly aware that failed states harbor Britain's enemies, and has even given up smoking ("I can blow someone's head off, but I can't light a good cigar," growled current Bond actor Daniel Craig). Moreover, though still a ladykiller - sometimes quite literally - the priapic secret agent has morphed from infamous misogynist to indiscriminate misanthrope. He's discovered...
