I recently re-read van Vogt's _The World of Null-A_, which seems
to bear the same relationship to General Semantics as does
_Atlas Shrugged_ to libertarianism.
Some chapters have a little epigraph, relating a gem of General
Semantics thought to the coming events. These are attributed,
variously, to:
B.R
A.K.
C.J.K
H.W.
C.M.C.
E.T.B.
W.W.L.
T.H.
J.W.C.,Jr.
It seems likely to me that "A.K." is Alfred Korzybski, and that
"J.W.C.,Jr." is John W. Campbell, Jr. Does anybody have any ideas
as to who the other folks might be?
E.T.B. is Edgar Rice Burroughs with a middle initial slight change ?
