42 the Procrustean bed
(the Procrustean (или Procrustes') bed (тж. the bed of Procrustes))прокрустово ложе [этим. миф.]This is the deadly logic of the Big Lie. Of such is made the procrustean bed in which all must be stretched out or cut down to size once the original fraudulent premise is accepted. (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. III) — Такова отравленная логика большой лжи. Из нее и сделано прокрустово ложе, на котором действительно каждого надо растягивать или обрубать, чтобы он пришелся по мерке, если только принимать за правду исходную лживую предпосылку этих рассуждений.
