Time Bomb (1984 Film)
''Time Bomb'' is a 1984 made-for-TV action-adventure movie. Critic Background Critic Robert Cettl described ''Time Bomb'' as an update on 1970s trucker films and noted the unusual move of casting a woman to play the leader of a terrorist ring. The film was viewed as a slight departure from Fairchild and Olsen's images. Fairchild was cast to draw her large soap opera audience, Fairchild, who described her prior roles as largely "exploitative glitz," said she appreciated the grittier material. Some critics, however, were skeptical of the casting. Plot summary The film features Renee DeSalles, a charismatic, seductive terrorist of Algerian descent known as the most wanted terrorist in the world. She and her gang target an armored truck taking weapons-grade plutonium across Texas. It is up to a three-man team of "transport specialists" sent there to stop them.

Donald R
Donald is a masculine given name derived from the Gaelic name ''Dòmhnall''.. This comes from the Proto-Celtic *''Dumno-ualos'' ("world-ruler" or "world-wielder"). The final -''d'' in ''Donald'' is partly derived from a misinterpretation of the Gaelic pronunciation by English speakers, and partly associated with the spelling of similar-sounding Germanic names, such as '' Ronald''. A short form of ''Donald'' is ''Don''. Pet forms of ''Donald'' include ''Donnie'' and ''Donny''. The feminine given name ''Donella'' is derived from ''Donald''. ''Donald'' has cognates in other Celtic languages: Modern Irish ''Dónal'' (anglicised as ''Donal'' and ''Donall'');. Scottish Gaelic ''Dòmhnall'', ''Domhnull'' and ''Dòmhnull''; Welsh '' Dyfnwal'' and Cumbric ''Dumnagual''. Although the feminine given name ''Donna'' is sometimes used as a feminine form of ''Donald'', the names are not etymologically related.
