...from the fox-hunting functionary who controls the movement of the hounds and is called the whipperin. In the House of Commons the majority chief whip enjoys an extremely close relationship with the Prime Minister. The chief whip is also frequently the party official in charge of patronage. Edward Heath used this post under Harold Macmillan as a steppingstone to the Tory leadership...

But during the storm on the heath, Cobb's Lear gains in compassionate wisdom what he loses in pride and sanity. As he shelters the shivering Fool, listens to the gibberings of mad Tom and later gazes into the bloody, eyeless face of Gloucester, Lear sheds his vanity and learns of his oneness with "unaccommodated man . . . such a poor...
