Once nicknamed "The Torygraph," one of the daily's most famous editors served as a Conservative Cabinet minister; among its current star columnists is its former reporter, the Conservative Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

Some have likened his departure to a flight 30 years ago, when, heeding the bells of history, the country's teary-eyed Shah strode onto a plane bound for Egypt, never to return as Islamic revolution swept the monarchy aside.
