Party Chairman Edward du Cann concurred, but the British press, most notably the Tory press, emphatically did not, and had been saying so in a rising crescendo. "He should go," asserted the Sunday Express. "The right moment to change," advised the Sunday Times. "Sir Alec could now retire with the genuine thanks of his party," allowed The Economist...

Capuchin Smits, whose own thinking owes much to Protestant Theologian F. J.
