and probably from when Winston reads The Book. I'm not sure though.

5. What set Orwell apart from the rest of his time was his unflinching

ability to perceive and speak the truth.In our time only a few can match that quality.Noam Chomsky, Paul Krugman,Jimmy Breslin come to mind immediately.We could possibly add Naipaul, Harold Pinter and John Le Carre from the other side of the pond as well.Just as surely we can dispense with the incessant chatters on TV and the big name
op-ed columnists who wouldn't know the truth if it rose up and bit them in the ass.
