RIP John le Carré, one of the great spy novelists, best known for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ and other adapted works like ‘The Night Manager’ and ‘The Spy Who Came In from the Cold.’
Speaking of spies, it was also interesting to learn of the passing of Soviet double-agent George Blake, whose life is all but lifted from the pages of one of le Carré’s thrillers.
