Michael Foot v the New Statesman
In 1978 Bruce Page, the editor of the New Statesman, reprinted extracts from a stirring speech made by Michael Foot as a Labour rebel in 1968. Foot's criticisms contrasted starkly with his position a decade later - as a leading member of the Labour government - on its economic policy. Foot sent a vituperative letter in his own defence, printed the following week. It ended with a flick of contempt at a staff journalist, Christopher Hitchens, who responded similarly.

On summer schools
Throughout the US and UK, the summer school was a distinctive feature of the progressive age before the Great War. The spirit of those optimistic times is well conveyed in this article, written anonymously for the New Statesman (but possibly by S K Ratcliffe) during the first year of the magazine's life. The Chautauqua Institution in New York State described was founded in 1874, and still holds nine weeks of educational and cultural activities every summer.
