Lines: 14 From: LINDSAY@TL-20A.ARPA You know, it's odd how many people think of "1984" as prophecy - failed or otherwise. The working title of the book was "1948" (the year it was written), because Orwell felt that he was writing about what he saw in the world around him. The name was changed by his publishers to make the book sell. Now that we know about the Gulag, there's a certain new edge to the idea of "thoughtcrime". Say - does the Bureau of Network Security read this BBoard ? Don Lindsay Lindsa%Tartan.Arpa -------
