Problems

 Testing:

I had better give notice here that, since "Blogger" changed, I have been having problems with posting. Currently, if I click to create a new post on any of my other blogs, the screen changes to allow me to create a post on this, the Poul Anderson Appreciation, blog, not on the blog where I want to post. If this situation persists, then I will not, for example, be able to transfer articles to the Poul Anderson: Contributor Articles blog. I have, of course, gone onto a "Help" page and tried to communicate the problem but am not sure whether my message has been sent and, in any case, based on past experience, do not expect any reply. I am taking this opportunity to inform blog readers that there are problems just in case the problems get worse and I become unable to post here as well. I will switch the lap top off for a while and switch back on again later for what that is worth.

Two Spies In Green Hats

"...he took off his hat, a narrow-brimmed, dark-green English felt hat..."
-Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest (London, 2007), CHAPTER 5, p. 195.
 
Thus, two fictional spies wear a green hat, one in THRUSH, the other in Swedish Internal Security.
 
Did Larsson have this UNCLE film in mind?
