What I mean is, I have the impression that Dr. Griffiths has constructed a caricature of Orwell to fit his theory, rather than forming this theory around the real Orwell. I have absolutely no evidence for this, except that my hackles rise whenever I read jack perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681558050302289235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092896.post-1108138270882908592005-02-11T10:11:00.000-06:002005-02-11T10:11:00.000-06:00Touchstone is here: http://www.touchstonemag.com/

I think the subscription price was a little steeper than what I wanted to pay at the time; NOR is half as much.
