Even seated at his littered desk in Canberra's Parliament House, he always seemed bigger than life. His great black eyebrows clumped out angrily, like saltbush in the Great Sandy Desert, and his vast stomach bulged defiance against his double-breasted suit. He was quarrelsome, autocratic, always demanding, and the greatest orator his country has yet produced. He founded the Liberal Party that swept him to power, forged the government coalition that kept him there for 16 years. Prime Minister Sir Robert Gordon Menzies not only governed Australia.

He did not lose his virginity until his 29th birthday, as a direct consequence, he protested, of having bought a respectable suit of clothes. "Virgo intacta still," he confided to his diary before the event. "Forced caresses," he noted gloomily a few days later, true to his ungallant belief that woman is the predator, man the prey. "The ideal woman is a man," he wrote to Actress Ellen Terry -a bleak thought whose...
