...election as Labour's representative for Hampstead and Highgate. During a 27-year acting career, she suffered from extreme stage fright; she told the Guardian last September that "the longer I carried on, the greater the fear became.'' In the House of Commons, however, she is fearless. Proud of her working-class roots--she's a bricklayer's daughter--Jackson concentrates on transportation issues.

One told of how during an ambush by thugs intent on killing him, he calmly asked for a moment to make his peace with God--a fearless request that virtually disarmed them, allowing him to go free. Though he had enemies on all sides, he regularly traveled without escort in a country where the two tribes are hell-bent on destroying each other, where more than 150,000 people have been killed since 1993, where in July the last...
