...example, the Massachusetts party remained sympathetic, but uncommitted, to the Party right through the convention week. Certainly LBJ's hostility to the FDP contributed to the ambivalence, but simple ignorance among Massachusetts delegates also played a part. At any moment, the FDP could have mobilized Boston's many civil rights groups into a concerted lobbying organization. But word never came from Jackson, and many Massachusetts delegates didn't learn the details of the issue until convention week, when hoopla and gossip precluded careful consideration of the question...

He has been, at one time or another-and usually simultaneously-a successful author (eleven books), artist (exhibitions in London and New York), and TV commentator (covering the Royal Wedding). A British navy commander in World War II, he served on destroyers and gunboats, took part in the raid on Dieppe, designed the camouflage scheme that was adopted by the British Admiralty for all ships on duty in the Atlantic. Today, a world-renowned naturalist, conservationist and ornithologist, he is a councilor of the London Zoo and keeper...
