The NYT Crossword let me know that I never read this one, just ordered it. 15% coupon and big discount if ordered online. I compared Amazon Prime to Barnes and Noble and BandN wins.

Also, just learned that George Smiley is expected to return in a new novel: A Legacy of Spies.

Youtube is great, the entire Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy is available in 9 minute increments.

Roddy Martindale: Let's talk about your old boss, Control. The only Head of the Secret Service who kept his name a secret. Shall we talk about Control?
George Smiley: If you insist.
Roddy Martindale: Of course, it wasn't a secret to you, was it, George? He never had any secrets from you, his tried and trusted right hand, did he?
George Smiley: I don't know. That's the point about secrets.
