...Hero. In Stafford Cripps, paradox was at home. He was a millionaire descended from a long line of rich country squires, but he was born with a silver Fabian slogan in his mouth. His aunt & uncle were Fabianism itself-Sidney and Beatrice Webb. He believed first in God ("Frame our judgments . . . upon the basis of what we most truly and honestly believe to be God's will"). Second, he believed in Socialism...
Beyond the Past. This subtle architectonic paradox was no doubt far from the minds of the directors of Lever Brothers Co.

The persuasive arguments that set the design and the revolutionary innovations of the building that resulted are both characteristic of the architects they chose.

They're so intelligent you can't steam them up for the old college try like you can in Britain...
Queen Unaware. "The King is dead; long live the Queen," stated thus traditionally with hardly a pause, is no mere paradox. It encompasses a principle close to the essence of British monarchy; that the realm is never, even for an instant, without a ruler. Britain's new Queen, the sixth woman to rule over England, became sovereign without even knowing it. With Philip, her staff and their game-hunting hosts, she was spending the night in a tree hut in Kenya's Royal Aberdare Game Reserve, watching big game gather at a jungle waterhole...
