Linda,
The name of Connery's character -- William of Baskervilles -- reflects the author's nods to the much-misinterpreted forger of Occam's Razor, and the creator of Baker Street's paragon of reason.
Gee ... subtext in an Umberto Eco novel. Whudda thunk it?
FYI, I've looked for years, and to no avail, for a copy of Eco's co-authored Bond analysis for under a hundred dollars.
Perhaps if this forum ever turns a decent profit ...
(We're too busy turning prophets, I fear.)

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
