FOR 21 YEARS HIS UMBRELLA HAS BEEN A SYMBOL OF SCORN...NOW THE QUESTION MUST BE ASKED -

TRAGEDY, according

to Aristotle, should depict a man's fall from high to low estate.

By that definition, no other figure in British history is so utterly tragic as the stern, beak-faced figure of Neville Chamberlain.
