Room for dissent?  Doesn't look like it.  I spent ages boosting the book and think it's very good indeed.  I was re-reading pages of it in bed before closing my eyes to dream of heathery shades and marl.  Might have been more interesting, though, if they'd been interviewed by somebody with a bit of spunk like Melanie Phillips.  Gaul runs around making his political comments then says forget about politics.  I tend to think more of the Eisenhower than the Kennedy White House - but, of course, that lacks the essential Camelot touch, doesn't it?  (Just to balance things out a little, however, I don't care too much for what Foster Dulles did to us over Suez; but, hey, let's not get political, okay?)
