side.  He was  writing the diary for  O'Brien -- to O'Brien: it was like an
interminable  letter which  no one would ever read, but which was addressed
to a particular person and took its colour from that fact.
     The  Party told  you to reject the  evidence of your eyes and ears. It
was  their  final, most essential command.  His heart sank as he thought of
the  enormous power  arrayed against  him, the  ease with  which any  Party
intellectual  would overthrow  him in debate, the subtle argume
