Interesting piece in yesterday’s New York Times (bugmenot) describing a CIA agent’s relationship with one of her sources in Macedonia. I will keep an eye out for the book this story is lifted from, to be published next February – though it’s had at least one bad review so far!
Miliband minor was a contemporary at Oxford. I don;t believe I ever met him. One of my friends shared a college with him, and has views on both Miliband Major and Minor, none of which are complimentary and mostly involve the wrinkling of a nose and expression of disgust. It is quite hard to form an unbiased opinion on them.
