With the inspired doggedness that characterizes British diplomacy at its best, the British set to work to stave off the prospect of a European economy permanently divided...

Does he, at his age, really want to live the emotional life of a young man? Wouldn't he be wiser to act his age and somehow find his peace? In the happy-unhappy ending, the victim-hero of the drama accepts at life's hands the lesser evil, the larger hope...
