  Sir Hugh Carleton Greene | TV Heroes
Born in 1910, Hugh Carleton Greene was the brother of the writer Graham Greene, and had been a foreign correspondent for the Daily Telegraph reporting the rise of Hitler in Germany until he was expelled in 1939, informing a disbelieving Polish government that the Germans were bombing Katowice.
Greene axed “TW3” in November 1963, desperate to avoid any more difficulties among the Board of Governors as 1964 would have to be an election year, but this was no sign of greater caution ahead.
In July 1968, when Sir Hugh Greene announced his decision to retire, many suggested that he had felt inhibited by Hill, and certainly his successor as Director General in March 1969, Charles Curran, was prepared to allow Mary Whitehouse and her lobby much more airtime, and took their arguments much more seriously.

 National Review: The Life of Graham Greene, vol. 1, 1904-1939. - book reviews
Greene, like Kolly Kibber in Brighton Rock, leaves clues inviting Sherry to give chase, but the biographer is always baffled as he watches his quarry disappear, smiling, round the next corner.
There are invaluable interviews with her, Claud Cockburn, Zoe Richmond (widow of Kenneth Richmond, Greene's early psychoanalyst), and "Tooter" and Sir Hugh Greene (respectively, Green's cousin with whom he apparently toured London brothels, and his younger, and closest, brother, later Director General of the BBC).
Greene read it and tore it up.) After a sub-editing job in Nottingham, Greene was now doing the same thing for the Times, working all night and writing his first published novel during the day.

 Hugh Kenner, 1923-2003 by Guy Davenport
The author was Hugh Kenner, whose next book would be Joyce’s Voices (1978) and whose previous book had been A Homemade World (1975), a study of “the American Modernist Writers.” Hugh Kenner’s first book was about Chesterton, his second about Ezra Pound, his third about Wyndham Lewis, his fourth about James Joyce.
Hugh was modest rather than prudish; once, looking through my life-class drawings, he quickly flipped past the male nudes and lingered over the female ones.
I had the feeling that Hugh was a displaced member of Samuel Johnson’s circle (Pope was for him the poet for inexhaustible study).
