the name, if not the character, has got to be a conglomeration
of MacLean & Burgess; big names in the long & shady history of
English spookdom.
MacLean, indeed, did much of his spying while at the British
Embassy in Cairo, between 1948 and his speedy departure to Moscow
along with Burgess who had warned him that his cover was blown.
Incidentally - you americans who seem in such a fuss about the
state of your democracy should note that your FBI/FOIA documents
on the subject are still the best source of information available
to a British citizen. Thanks very much for :
