...coat-and-homburg image of a diplomat ever since he arrived at Whitehall four months ago for his first day of work. While senior foreign officers ceremoniously gathered out front to greet the new man, Brown slipped in the back door and went to work. In what the Daily Mail has called "the hundred hair-raising days" since, Brown has gone about his job in his own quixotic way, using frankness as a rapier and leaving behind him a trail of trampled toes. On his first trip abroad as Foreign Secretary in October, Brown informed a Detroit audience...

...made a noble sacrifice: instead of the long leisurely lunch of yore, the ardent lover grabs a quick sandwich and a bottle of refreshing Vichy water, then dashes off to see his mistress from 2 to 4. Even the improving French postal service works in his favor: outgoing office mail, which under the old romantic regime had to be posted no later than 5 p.m., can now be postponed as late as 7 p.m., thus giving the amorous executive time for both lust and letters...
