Another reason for The Times restriction may be an astute business sense, wrt syndication. People who are hot and happening now, may be all but forgotten a few years down the line, especially with the prevailing papparazi and page 3 culture. Avoiding such references may thus help in keeping their xwds evergreen and more amenable to syndication. The HT tie up for an 8 yr old series being a case in point.<br /><br /> Also, they may want to avoid the risk of getting embroiled in lawsuits for libel, defamation etc by disgruntled celebrities who may have not been flatteringly clued.<br /><br />Ge{o}rge Bush*<br />Bush?
