There was little need for him to talk: everyone in town knew that he and his affair with the 37-year-old Widow Theodora Pra had prompted all the other sermons in the first place.

After World War II, Britain had the chance, even the open invitation of the weakened nations across the Channel, to join and assume the leadership of a new united Europe. Britain refused, though Winston Churchill's eloquence rang in the halls of the Council of Europe on behalf of the ideal. Britain's explanation for staying out has always been the theory of the three overlapping circles of British policy.
