...story comes from the private diaries of William Ewart Gladstone, Queen Victoria's least favorite Prime Minister, who, in his avowed efforts to save prostitutes from sin, apparently indulged in unspecified sexual pleasures and then scourged himself in punishment. The other, released by the Public Records office, discloses an unsuccessful cover-up by the British Cabinet and Buckingham Palace, which tried to suppress the facts about the homosexual activities of Lord Arthur Somerset, equerry to the then Prince of Wales who in 1901 became King Edward...
...volumes of Gladstone's diary, which his sons deposited with the Archbishop of Canterbury. The volumes, covering his life from 1840 to 1854, are now being published by Oxford University Press.

But he insists they must try to do so, particularly since he expects rising pressures to turn them into gurus...

I think the energies which so far have been primarily concentrated on nurturing and on maternity can certainly be widened to apply to collective things, to a kind of vision of the world. But as I say in the book, I honestly believe that men's way of doing things has led to a number of dead ends. For women...
