Gee. Maybe the reason Hamilton and Wood didn't come up with anything more "original" was because "Remo Williams: The Destroyer" is the main character of an extremely popular set of 30 or more (sorry, don't have exact number) pulp novels which have been coming out for more than 20 years. Not that people who write James Bond movies have shown much any respect for Ian Fleming's abilities ... -- Rick Keir -- right next to the Oyster Tank -- UWisc - Madison {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick

I agree. I seem to remember a series of books called the Destroyer series in which an organization creates an assassin named Remo Williams whose job is to kill those sly guys who commit all kinds of crimes and get away with them because they hide behind the Constitution. I don't know why Hamilton and Wood couldn't have come up with something more original. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
