But in the San Fernando Valley, anger was tempered by sorrow, and death had wiped magic from the air and sparkling sun.

A Daily Mail cartoon showed Admiral Nelson atop his Trafalgar Square roost dressed in top hat, striped trousers and cutaway coat. But Tory anger in Commons was stayed by the realization that Britain could either cooperate or go on cutting off the flow of its lifeblood oil at Suez. Lord Hailsham, quieter in London than he was in Port Said, said: "We will civilianize the whole fleet if necessary...
