Brooks, Thanks for your kind words, I nearly had a heart attack :-) I am now catching up on TLN.
Well, I've always seen him as expunging his guilt as more-or-less the architect of Colin Powell's UN speech with the little vial of powder, like "Nooo, nooo, how could I arrgghhh", like the Iranian aerospace guy who wished he'd been on that plane.
Trouble is, it would take approximately a million lifetimes, wouldn't it? I don't see how he could really do a Profumo without cleaning a lot of toilets .
Whether LW finally flew too close to the sun and is now retrenching I don't know, but it would only be a matter of time :-) I recall he was teaching at some semi-military school anyway, or had been (Like William & Mary or something).
