Many thanks to the rather wonderful research team at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas for kindly sending me a facsmile of the handwritten article by Graham Greene from 1969 which was published in the UK The Spectator magazine on 8th November 1969.
It is a typically brilliant piece of waspish journalism by Greene who, at that time, was usually working on two books every day, one in
