...London's cocktail-party circuit, the 200-page manuscript that was handed to Harold Macmillan last week had been billed in advance as a sort of Tropic of Mayfair. Compiled by Lord Denning, Britain's second highest judicial official, the manuscript was the result of an exhaustive, three-month investigation into the security aspects of the great Profumo-Keeler-Ivanov scandal. But the churchgoing, teetotal jurist had also been directed by the Prime Minister to look into "rumors which affect the honor and integrity of public life," meaning gleeful, persistent gossip that several other ministers in Macmillan...
...grave shortage of grouse," groused Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, 64, after bagging a paltry 28 on the first day of his shoot on the moors of Yorkshire. A jinx?

"The Profumo case," said Macmillan fatuously last week, "revealed the very high standard we try to maintain in British public life," because otherwise the affair would not have "caused so great a shock." The judge in the Ward case himself echoed the widespread view that Ward was an exception, and that "the even tenor of the British family goes on quietly." And the Bishop of Exeter maintained that the "Profumo scandal does not prove that the private...
During his placid career, Ramsey had gradually earned a reputation for spirituality as well as theological scholarship. Two years ago, it fell to Harold Macmillan to choose a successor for the retiring Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher. Although some Englishmen suspected that Ramsey was picked because he looked the part, the Prime Minister had his mind set on getting a "religious" primate, and Ramsey was his personal choice...
