...have reconfirmed that the basis of our relationship and future negotiations will be the Shanghai Communique, which I have just today reread. And they have been so far satisfied with our approach without any time limit...
Eden retired to his Wiltshire estate with Clarissa, his second wife (he had in 1950 divorced his first wife, Beatrice, by whom he had two children: Simon, who was killed in World War II, and Nicholas, who is now a merchant banker).

He then settled down to work on script and research. The latter may be, for him, the more important undertaking. "Stanley is voracious for information. He wants glorious choice," says...
