I'm stunned. There must have been some fairly senior staff involved in
choosing the name. And yet it appears not one of them had even heard about
the book.

Gracious !!! I hope this sort of moral outrage won't force them into
withdrawing the marvelous range of 'de Sade' riding crops . . . . .

"Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game."

Or the stylish and practical Eichmann range of showers and ovens?
Or the recently developed Bagdhad programme for the treatment of Downs'
Syndrome?

Only if I can mention the (child sizes only), Beverly Allitt nurses outfit,
complete with realistic syringe.
