With apologies to the historian
of Dien Bien Phu, a cul de sac
we go on plagiarising, the sec-
ret lives of academics somehow
go on fascinating us all, given
to concentrate original lessons.
In Britain, the mortar is minus-
cule, the pestle seldom absent.
From central New Jersey to Lang-
ley or the Cosmos Club, a lunch
can be attended, any given day.
I do feel our Government is making
rather a fuss over the Falklands.
As I am having lunch in the H of C
on Tuesday with Chris Patten - a
former pupil and I think no great
friend of Mrs T - no doubt I'll
learn more.
