Apple TV+ in October will debut The Pigeon Tunnel, a documentary about the life of legendary spy novelist John le Carre.
in October, also doubling as the final interview from the English novelist whose real name was David Cornwell.
I should point out, though le Carre aficionados will need no such reminding: The title of the documentary from director Errol Morris comes fromof the same name. But it’s also a phrase that, according to the writer himself, was almost always a placeholder title at one time or another for all his stories.
The “pigeon tunnel” is a reference to a memory from the writer’s teenage years, when he accompanied his father on a gambling excursion in Monte Carlo. Nearby the casino was a sporting club, with a shooting range that overlooked the sea. Small tunnels ran under the lawn, through which the pigeons that had lived on the casino roof would flutter along until emerging into the sky over the Mediterranean. Easy targets, all of them, for “well-lunched sporting gentlemen” armed with shotguns.
Whenever I think about le Carre, who died in 2020 at age 89, I find myself remembering some of my favorite passages from his novels, perhaps more so than the novels themselves or the characters and the puzzle-box mysteries they contain.

The new Apple Watches might feature 3D-printed parts.A new Bloomberg report says Apple is tinkering with 3D printing for the stainless steel version of the Apple Watch Series 9. The main goal is to purportedly streamline production, and if things go well, Apple may consider using 3D printing for its other products. The report claims that Apple’s been secretly developing this tech for three years, but it’s not a given that the first Series 9 shipments will actually feature the tech. Earlier in June, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that some of the Ultra 2’s titanium parts would also be manufactured via 3D printing. (Bloomberg says this won’t happen until 2024, however.) Ultimately this would be a small number of Apple Watches sold. Most people opt for the less expensive aluminum models, with stainless steel making up roughly 10 percent of total units.
