...Good Subject. A decade later, Prime Minister Wilson turned to Old Comrade Freeman to be Britain's High Commissioner (ambassador) in India, where embroilment in India's quarrels with Pakistan seemed unavoidable, but where, as a diplomatic greenhorn, Freeman often found it advisable to lie low. The New Statesman's immense prestige among Indian intellectuals boosted the personal popularity of its former editor, and Freeman's vivacious dark-haired third wife, Catherine, won praise for her relief work in famine-ravaged Bihar...
