...sometimes seems to have misplaced America, and to be intently seeking it, trying out different accents, different styles of thought, as if seeking his own authenticity. Or perhaps fleeing it. Bush used to be a moderate Republican. Now, inheriting the Reagan legacy, he is constrained to run as a right-winger. He trumpets right-wing "values" -- and panders unapologetically to the Know-Nothing instincts in the crowd, but one listens to him always with a smudge of doubt: Does he really believe that...

The ultra-right-winger thus became the first candidate of the Herstigte (Reconstituted) National Party to capture a seat in Parliament.

The most vocal opponent of all is Enoch Powell, the leading Tory right-winger, who has been traveling throughout the Six to explain why a majority of Britons feel "a repugnance" toward joining the EEC. Says Powell: "The principal events which have placed their stamp upon our consciousness of who we are were the very ones in which we have been alone, confronting a Europe that was lost...
