If anyone can find reference to a clash with George Orwell (Eric Blair) during WW2 it would be most interesting. It's sometimes suggested that the choice of an Irish name for the Inquisitor in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and the elated calling of 'BB' were private digs at Brendan Bracken.

Interesting; I've just looked in Lysaght's book and there is no mention there of Orwell (or Eric Blair).194.125.131.56 11:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
