This was the exquisitely balanced verdict of Robin Butler, Britain's former chief civil servant, whose supple mind, service to five Prime Ministers and intimacy with Whitehall folkways fully earn him the title of mandarin. And so Blair made yet another miraculous escape - wounded, yet still alive for now. Mandarins don't gun down Prime Ministers. In a 160-page report...
