Among the anti-Europeans proved to be Angry Youngish Playwright John Osborne, 32. Looking back in anger from the south of France last year, Osborne had proclaimed his antipathies in a "letter of hate for you, my countrymen." Its message: "Damn you, England."

Next morning 250,000 Britons ("The top people read the Times") learned to their intense fascination that Prime Minister Harold Macmillan had lately taken Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd's arm "in a paternal grip" and proposed that Lloyd move down to a lesser government job within the next "several months...
