Baker did not see himself as a humorist when he started the column, he says, and still doesn't really. His intention was "to write plain English, Anglo-Saxon root words and short sentences for readers of the Times, who were suffocating on polysyllabic, Latinate English." If he had models, he says, they were E.B. White's "Talk of the Town" pieces for The New Yorker and his mentor at the Times, James Reston. Says he: "Reston taught the Times to write English...

Dire warnings from British civil servants and others of the disastrous consequences for the British image and trade in Africa may yet dissuade her: the last thing anyone wants is a row at the Commonwealth prime ministers' conference in July, which the Queen is scheduled to attend...
