As the diesel train shuddered out of the drab suburbs, we talked about politics, the Falklands, music, girls and football: the five pillars of Anglo-Argentine macho intercourse.

Miss Diamond graduated from Princeton last summer, where her English thesis was on 'the Cultural Myth of Female Hair in the Victorian Imagination'. She is now understood to work in securities at the Wall St bank, handling accounts for wealthy individuals and corporations. She is also a campaigner for Unicef.

It was also inspired to cast the naturally off-beam comedian Jerry Sadowitz as Jerry The Jew, the sort of weird local who seemed accepted and commonplace in 1970s London. The way he keeps dropping his loose change is timed to perfection.

There is little evidence of the so-called trickle-down theory working in the wake of economic liberalisation. Benefits have still remained confined to a select few. The harsh truth of the American economy has forced Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz to admit that conventional wisdom about 'trickle-down economics' is a fraud, and that a country without a viable middle-class is teetering at the edge of a precipice.

Smith found himself widely vilified, the target of beatings, taunts and abuse. Questioned for weeks by detectives, some of whom seemed determined to "break" him, he was taken out on to Saddleworth Moor to see if he could recall landmarks from his drunken outings with Hindley and Brady.

It was at the embassy that La Rochefoucauld was invited to join SOE. "The courage and skill of British agents is without equal," he recalled the ambassador noting.

Standing ovations. Spontaneous genuflections. A we-can-change-the-world lecture. This must be what's it like to live in a Communist state. Funnily enough, the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra, who we were saying goodbye to last night in the final concert of their four-day Southbank residency, already do.
