...mite too pleasant before, even while pushing Doctor No into the radioactive heavy water. Now that streak of sadistic cruelty which endeared the written Bond to all Harvard Walter Mittys appears in all its glory. We grin as the movie Bond slams the hood of a truck on one villain's hand. We snicker as he slaps luscious Daniela Bianchi around a compartment on the Orient Express. We cheer as he dumps a non-swimmer into the Adriatic with the valediction "This just isn't your...
...Hero & The Villain.

The original villain is a great mass of plastic rock that is slowly rising under the Atlantic. One hundred and fifty million years ago, all the continents were bunched together, but the rising rock current split them apart, moving North and South America away from Europe-Africa. The split has now grown into the Atlantic Ocean, and down through its center, keeping equidistant between the two continents, runs the mid-Atlantic ridge...
