The bull is Alan Turner a rough-necked rough-mouthed lovable misfit from Foreign Office Security; the matador is Leo Harting a middle-aged Second Secretary from the British Embassy in Bonn "a sprite weightless as the dark slipping through the shadows as if they were a net". This is the man who after twenty years of apparently loyal service to the Crown has vanished taking with him official files hot enough to frustrate or indeed compromise the entire British position at the negotiating table at Brussels where a faltering British Government is making a desperate last attempt to save the national economy and get into the Common Market. In this atmosphere of approaching crisis Alan Turner therefore is despatched from London to find Harting. "Which do they want" he asks "The man or the files" Gradually it becomes clear that one is not enough without the other." Previous owner's book plate of ffep else fine. Heinemann hardcover

"A California rabbi who rejects completely the existing outlook on crime which “puts men in prisons instead of hospitals. ” has resigned as Jewish chaplain at San Quentin Folsom and Alcatraz prisons. Because society “has not yet learned that crime is but another form of mental or emotional disturbance ” being a prison chaplain was “so futile ” said Rabbi Julius A. Leibert that he could no longer continue. “All I could do was listen with never a say where it mattered for the men. ““Prisons are a carry-over from the dim cruel unenlightened past ” he asserted adding that such institutions should be called “hospitals ” with inmates considered as receiving treatment rather than punishment. He called inmates of San Quentin “poor sick persons” who were “compelled time after time to commit crimes” because they were “inadequately treated as sick persons. ” from Jewish Telegraphic Agency Aug 29 1957 ; 223p. pages; Pictured 1/18/24 .
