G. Sarto - I have to agree with you about Chesterton. As a journalist he is up there with Orwell in my opinion. His observations on the then current racial theories, eugenics, Socialism and Prussianism during the Teens and Twenties are downright spooky considering what happened in the Thirties. And his critique of big government and big business in the 'History Of Hudge And Gudge' from 'What's Wrong With The World' is still relevant today.
