Ummm, what am I missing here? It's an article about spy gizmos.

Quote - Spy fact meets spy fiction The discovery of a fake rock in Moscow, allegedly a British surveillance device, seems to be the very definition of cloak and dagger. But if it feels like it should really be in a B-rate movie, that should come as no surprise. The worlds of espionage and entertainment are no strangers. Spying is fertile ground for authors, TV producers and film-makers. Eavesdropping, surveillance, disguise, deceit, danger and diplomacy all make for good plots and sub-plots - everything from Dick Tracy and Dick Barton, through Mission Impossible and George Smiley, all the way to Spooks. Eyebrows have been raised as to what might be the full story of the Moscow rock. Defector Oleg Gordievsky says it is a KGB stunt, while others wonder what its purpose might have been if it was a British device. Whatever the truth, it would not have been out of place in fiction - gadgets have consistently fired the imagination. But they are not all make-believe. Bond creator Ian Fleming's most direct lift from the real world was perhaps the human torpedo that features in the 1965 Bond film Thunderball. Fleming, who worked in naval intelligence during World War II, was said to have been inspired by an Italian plan to destroy British ships in the waters off Gibraltar.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
