Willman, Skip.  "The Kennedys, Fleming, and Cuba:
   Bond's Foreign Policy."  Ian Fleming and James Bond:
   The Cultural Politics of 007. Ed. Edward P. Comentale,
   Stephen Watt and Skip Willman. Bloomington:

E.g., ...

"... JFK's fixation on covert action to oust Castro was constituted
through an underlying fantasy shaped in part by the work of Fleming."
(p. 179)

"... Fleming represented for the Kennedys what Jacques Lacan called
'the subject supposed to know' ..." (p. 180)

"Bond represented an ideal ego for both brothers." (ibid.)
