...Burgess, a few days before his friend and Donald Maclean escaped to Moscow, just as British agents were closing in on them. But the man who actually tipped them off, Blunt insisted, was the so-called third man in the spy network, H.A.R. ("Kim") Philby. At week's end, Blunt confirmed that, at a later date, he had also contacted the Soviets on Philby's behalf. The former Sir Anthony (he was stripped two weeks ago of the knighthood awarded him in 1956) suggested that other spies who may have been in his group might still...
...Intelligence gathering, "the author later observed, "is even more fantasy-prone than news gathering. In the latter, you are often expected to make bricks without straw, but in the former, to grow lemons without a tree. "He thus retired from spying with some relief at the end of the war, to "fall subsequently," he recalls, "into the more serious business of editing Punch." Since his days at the British humor magazine, he has plied his trade as a self-described "vendor of words" on radio and TV broadcasts, in magazine and newspaper articles and in a number of books, including...

...italicized but spontaneous: Benton had the sense to let his young star improvise rather than rehearse to the point of slickness. Henry's character also grows-as he must during the course of Kramer. When Billy and a dejected Ted prepare a French-toast breakfast together near the end of the movie, the son tries to cheer up the father with the same forced smiles and reassuring gestures that Ted used on Henry in a parallel scene much earlier on. It is a masterly way of letting the audience know indirectly that Ted and Billy, once near strangers...
