Salon Decodes TTSS

In Salon, Richard Rayner's excellent guide "Everything you need to know about TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY" provides a great background read to acquaint yourself with some of the personal, historical and literary threads woven into John le Carr'e's masterpiece. Rayner provides clues to the word "Mole," real-life spies that influenced the fictional ones, and the nature of London weather. He also provides a way for fans to provide their own TTSS-data.
