  • 02 October 2006

Taken from the New Statesman archive, 28 May 1965 It is easy to see how this freelance offering came to be published. Not only is it nicely turned, but it is also guaranteed to leave a lump in the throat of any writer or editor who came into this business the easy way. I can’t be sure what fee McGeown received from the New Statesman – the file simply says "Paid" – but the going rate for something of this length was 15-20 guineas. Selected by Brian Cathcart
