<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Awhile
back we noted that 'the good old Hotel Sacher' alludes to
novel/film The Third Man. Also, a recent discussion connected
The Land Across to The Third Policemen (which I recently
cycled through as a result of discussion on this list). <br>
<br>
There are some other allusions to "three" in the opening
paragraphs of TLA. For example, in the third paragraph, <br>
<br>
<< At first I tried to get in by air. Lufthansa has
service, but there are only two flights a week. I booked twice
and had both canceled. The third did not land at the capital,
saying bad weather. It went straight on to Ankara. >><br>
<br>
Three flights, ending in Ankara, central city of ancient
Galatia, recipient of Paul's epistle explicating the nature of
the Trinity.<br>
