Abstract

Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | March 7, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

Sometime in the summer of 1970, the author was expelled from the Oxford Union for helping to drop a noose over the Foreign Secretary's head. In mitigation, the author says that this utterly debauched politician bad come among them to defend the invasion of Cambodia. Even that seemed too grand and dashing. Decades of effort and continence, and who will remember anything of Stephen Milligan except his end. The number of adulterers, out-of-wedlock fathers, washroom-baunters and lingerie-artists on his back benches must be roughly constant over time.
