Lindsay blamed Kennedy for caring only how the headlines read and for "substituting public relations" for substance. He criticized a "breach of faith with the American people" in the area of civil rights and he charged the President with an "unprecedented use of power, exceeding all bounds" in the steel dispute...

No longer is he the urbane figure who rescued the Tory Party from the Suez disaster, repaired the Anglo-American breach, led the Tories to a smashing election victory in 1959 with the slogan: "You never had it so good." To many Tories, Macmillan's familiar Edwardian image has become a liability...
