Perverted Sex. Psychiatrist Sher-vert Frazier, a Harvard Medical School expert on multicide and a member of the Texas panel that studied Charles Whitman (who shot 13 people from a tower in Austin in 1966), also insists that there is "no connection between homosexuality and murder per se."

He talks knowledgeably about perfume (though he admits the gaffe of once attributing Vent Vert to Dior instead of Balmain). He is a whiz at games; his adventures include several elaborately described games at which Bond wins five-figure stakes from the villain-usually by out-cheating...
