Unfortunately the Home Secretary had opened, by mentioning King George III, direct access of attack upon King George VI by the few republican M.P.'s and the lone Communist M.P. last week. Speaker the Rt. Hon. Edward Algernon Fitzroy, a congenitally stanch Monarchist usually quick to choke off belittlers of the Royal Family, was obliged to let them have their...

Then Vincent van Gogh, a lone wolf like himself, invited him to come and work with him at Aries. Their queer partnership broke up when van Gogh went crazy and cut off his ear with a razor.
