Bond kicked as hard as he could right at Zhnarkovsky's et cetera,
and the Russian spy fell to the ground screaming.

The title is deceptive.
There was a discussion a little while ago about compositions written
without a specific letter ("e", for example). I just stumbled across the
term for them: lipograms, in case anyone is interested for future reference.
(It's even in the OED.)
(If you think this isn't worthwhile, don't hesitate to omit it; I enjoy
knowing these things and had never seen the term before.)
Season's greetings to all--

It's Hanukkah, or Chanukkah, preferably the former, because English
speakers cannot recognize the aspirated H, if that is what it is
called, and will call it chah, like Charlie. Kessler here at ucla

Kessler (at ucla)
has declared that Chanukkah may
be pronounced as in khah and not hah or tchah.
As for Khanuka latkes: hooray!
