After all, to many people philosophy prob- ably means something rather far out and hardly connected with the everyday, workaday world, And this is where any reader, before they’re one-tenth of the way through this little volume, is in for a great, big shock, Yes, anyone, whether they are housewife or house painter, mill- hand or civil servant, just so long as they are interested in the world around them, It has often been said that the really great writers have the ability to express profound thoughts in asimple and straight- forward manner, Author Afanas- ‘yev is this kind of a writer, More than this, however, is WHAT he writes about, This is the real service he has done th world labor movement—and be- yond that, Perhaps the greatest single difficulty that any man, woman or teenager has today is to un- derstand what is happening in our world, for it is complicated, often confusing and forever helicopters); color (blood, ex- plosions); menace (knives, tear gas, every variety of gun from little bitty deringers to some sort of sea going cannon) and sex, All of this photographed in true-to- Superman neon technicolor, Sex is a beautiful girl (Daniela Bianchi) who thinks she is work- ing for ‘‘Mother Russia’’ but who is actually being used as bait for Bond by Spectre, ~© There is also a gorgeous belly dancer (Lelia) whose relatively old fashioned charms donot make up for the poisonous perversions of a ‘girl fight’? between two voluptuous Gypsy women or the coy vulgarity of the major bed- room scene, Neither belly dancer nor Miss Bianchi make up for the presence of Rosa Klebb, Special agent for Spectre, Klebb is played by Lotte Lenya, widow of Kurt Weill and an ac- tress of international distinction, We found it a bit painful to watch her putting across a fiendishly accurate characterization of this monstrous woman, an ugly old lesbian, who defected from Smersh (says the film) to join Spectre, However unpleasant hersisthe only real characterization, Sean Connery has all the grace, con- viction and sex appeal of a robot, Miss Bianchi is pretty and ap- pealing in spite of a monumen- tally dumb blond role and looked almost as shocked as we felt when she was slugged by Bond (an obligatory slug - he always hits his women,) A real spoof would expose Blond’s vulgarity (in spite of his luxurious tastes), would never permit violence as sensation, would never derive its situations from a real spoof artist, A spoof would give us genuine caricatures drawn from real characters, - Finally, a real spoof would have reflected some human, po- litical, emotional attitude about espionage and the USSR, about sudden death, about women, t The film makers couldn’t care less pro or con and all **From Russia’’ reflects is that you can. make a hell of a lot of money out of comic book sex and the cold war, —N.S. (People’s World) swers to super-Left changing, An increasing number of Canadians realize that the headlines of the news are inter- connected and that they’re some- how woven into our future—but how, exactly? Again some of us, due ‘to a steady diet of the slanted, select- ed news coverage through nearly every medium, understandably get a fit of the political blues, Well, here’s the right medi- cine—and make no mistake, Atomic structure, art and morality are all there in their right places, (Here, again, is an yutstanding quality of the book; the natural logical sequence of its parts, no easy task in asmall volume of 381 pages which covers the known universe and the his- tory of mankind), BOOKS Yet, although science and ethics are excellently dealt with, the greatest details and space are given to explaining just how and why the ordinary working people of the world are the makers of history, The book digs deeply into all the known social sys- tems with particular emphasis on the two current ones, capital- ism and socialism as the first stage of communism, Made to measure for those _ who have serious doubts that the day-to-day struggles really do help the fight for a socialist struggle of the proletariat for socialism now is combined with the movement of the peoples for peace, national independence and democracy and this is the main, special feature of the working class movement today, ... These measures objectively promote the advance to socialism because they undermine the domination of the capitalist monopolies, Enemy No, 1 of the working class and of the entire people,” Here, and throughout the book, is the rebuttal to those of the wordy, windy super-Left who are so bravely fighting for some vague “tomorrow” and yet never soil their hands with the some- times dirty business of the down to earth issues of today! One is tempted to say that this book is a natural for a discus- sion group, The whole truth is that after reading it you won’t be able to wait to get a discussion group going! ci —John Hope ° June 12, 1964—PACIFIC TRIBUNE—Page 9.
