...told you that this trial seemed to be "a fair trial," that statement would be both correct and inaccurate. This was no Chicago. The judge, Harold Mulvey, was no Julius Hoffman. I don't know enough about law to comment on his decisions or charge to the jury; his manner appeared impartial. And a murder had been committed in New Haven; a living human being, Alex Rackley, had been shot to death...

But the government failed to present its case convincingly to the Commonwealth, and a storm boiled up. Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia lodged strong protests, and Tanzania's President Julius Nyerere threatened to withdraw from the Commonwealth. By the time the issue came before the House, it was clear that the government had been blown off course. The opposition so rattled Sir Alec Douglas-Home that the Foreign Secretary twice called Harold Wilson "the Prime Minister." Voting on a Labor motion opposing...
