	Hugh Greene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Hugh Carleton Greene (1910-1987) was Director-General of the BBC from 1960 to 1969, and is generally credited with modernising an organisation that had fallen behind in the wake of the launch of ITV in 1955.
		He was the brother of the writer Graham Greene, but was often confused by the public with his contemporary, the television presenter Hughie Green.
		Greene's undoing followed the appointment of the former Tory minister Lord Hill as chairman of the BBC Governors from September 1, 1967, ironically by Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who had criticised Hill's appointment as chairman of the Independent Television Authority by a Tory government in 1963.

	Amazon.com: Books: Last Man Out: The Story of the Springhill Mine Disaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Greene (Praying for Sheetrock; Temple Bombing) does prove successful in her fascinating narrative on this miner an amateur musician known as the Singing Miner and Canada's Citizen of the Year in 1958.
		Greene's use of generalizations to describe what certain individuals were thinking as well as her occasionally overdramatic literary prose mar what is otherwise a very compelling real life story.
		Greene has done a wonderful job putting the reader right beside the trapped miners and letting us share their fears, their awesome courage, courage which was neccessary just to enter the mine day after day after day.

		Suddenly he stops, hands the leash back to me and announces that he and Hughie are going to race between the next two telephone poles.
		I can tell that Hughie is reluctant to race with Dad, but sees that he has no choice in the matter.
		The expression on Hughie's face shows me that he is more amazed than I am and is genuinely exerting himself.

		It was one of Hughie's grievances, and a very sore point with him, that his father's people would insist on treating him in the privileged manner they thought proper to his father's son, and his chief ambition was to stand upon his own legs and to fare like other boys.
		Hughie gazed in amazement at her temerity, for Donald Finch was not a man to take liberties with; but as he gazed, he wondered the more, for again the face of the stern old man was transformed.
		Hughie gazed, uncertain whether to allow himself to admire Jessac's performance, or to regard it with a boy's scorn, as she was only a girl.

		Hughie was the son of Molly who ran Molly's Reach, the main diner in town where Nick had an office.
		A previous review stated that Hughie and Margaret were Molly's children when I believe they were actually her grandchildren.
		The best episode was when the teenage girl tried to swim the length of the lake, and ended up getting so delirious in the water that they had to pull her out.

		It can be irritating to note the omission of obvious-seeming names from a discussion and not know whether the omissions were due to ignorance.
		In Thrillers; Genesis and Structure of a Popular Genre (1978), Jerry Palmer defines what he sees as that genre without mentioning John D. MacDonald, Ross Thomas, Eric Ambler, Peter O’Donnell, Richard Stark, Michael Gilbert, Ted Lewis, Stanley Ellin, Graham Greene, Charles Williams, Richard Stark, or Donald Hamilton.
		It’s still an intelligent and interesting book, socio-historical-political, and he collapses the conventional distinction between thrillers and mysteries.
