...Wise? The left-wing Laborite firebrands of Aneurin Bevan saw the news as a made-in-America chance to clobber both the U.S. and the Conservative government. "If you want to go to war," cried Bevan dramatically, "why not say so?" But this time the hostility did not stop at the left. Winston Churchill, embarrassed and angered by the U.S. failure to consult him in advance of the air raids, made only fitful attempts to douse the diplomatic blaze, and in the main debate he pointedly took no part.

Push, Don't Pay. What gives the changeless Bemelmans world its hard-wearing longevity is that it belongs neither to pure fact nor pure fiction. Its borders extend to Palm Beach and Hollywood, but its heartland is Europe-not the Europe of Gide or Aneurin Bevan, but a continent whose inhabitants behave as if Strauss operettas and books by Bemelmans were their sole guides to everyday life.

England can only be held together by making charges on abdominal belts...
...Curtain diplomats in London have been telling the British for months that the only solution for their economic plight is to cut loose from the U.S. and trade with Russia. The British government and many Britons know that this is a trap, but there are plenty of people (notably Aneurin Sevan's followers) who are willing to listen. It is the same in the rest of Western Europe, where growing islands of unemployment have appeared in recent months. Owners of processing plants in Antwerp, fisheries in Trondheim, boiler works in Lille, olive groves in Tuscany, all cocked...
