I: Beyond revolution
A government functioning
Goodbye, Mr. Adams
To Her Majesty the Queen (and the odd king)
The end of illusion
Barbarians at the ballot box : a cobbler's journey
A poet in Piccadilly
The rise of the Celt
II: The American century
The Commonwealth's century : a question of continuity
Striking a balance
The honorable and formidable Mr. Lodge
In diplomatic service : political appointees and careerists
The speaker, the president, and it all came tumbling down
III: The American Revolution - continued
Bad times-worse times
In and out with Speaker Martin
Always certain, never sure : Massachusetts men in Berlin
The general's men
The party of inclusion
Neither one nor the other
IV: "They came to the delectable mountain"
The cardinal rabbi
Little boy blue
Family feuds
A question of attitude
Men of principle
The O'Neill.
