...Currently 450,000 strong, it is a proud, placid and curiously mixed branch of Judaism. Some of its members are descendants of Sephardic Jews who fled the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions for the safety of Cromwell's England in the 17th century. Others belong to the wealthy, literate Anglo-Jewish families, such as the banking Rothschilds, who began to leave the ghettos of Europe 100 years later and came to exert great economic and political power in Britain. Liberal in outlook, sometimes casual in religious observance, traditional Anglo-Jewry is oddly yoked with more recent immigrants from Eastern Europe...
...innocent townswoman is "the net." This repetition does convey the rigidity of Jocelin's mind. But it is also boring, and has to be justified as a part of Golding's slightly condescending fable-telling manner. Stylistic consistency is also apparently meant to account for the rather childish Anglo-Saxon in which Golding's characters think and converse...
...situation is similar in the movies.

He therefore chose to delay the SST. The U.S. is already far behind the Anglo-French consortium, which expects to put its Vlach 2 Concorde into commercial service in 1971. U.S. aviation industrialists now hope that the President has heard heir mayday cries and will see fit to put the U.S. SST program back on he runway...
Plan for Victory. To both Lucas and Considine, MacArthur disclosed a plan for winning the Korean War-a plan that the "Anglo-Saxonphiles" stubbornly and successfully opposed. "I could have won the war in Korea in a maxi mum of ten days," he told Considine, "with considerably fewer casualties than were suffered during the so-called truce period, and it would have altered the course of history." The plan called for an air strike with "between 30 and 50" atomic bombs just north of the Yalu River (sec map). This would have wiped out the enemy's air capability...
