The fellas who wanted to chat with their Member of Parliament were not allowed to go beyond the lobby of the Houses of Parliament. Therefore, they waited in the lobby, and became "lobbyists." Also: I love reading about Euro history. The BBC publishes a magazine every month, with lots of great pictures, not very great articles, but what do you expect? Anyway, last night I looked through the thing again.. it is so sad. There they are, busily preserving, restoring, studying broken down churches and granerys and Elizabethan houses... with nary a thought that all that world of theirs will probably be gone by the end of the century. I don't think the Wahabis will be terribly interested in British Historical Sites, do you? CORRECTION ALERT!: “lobbyist” is an old British parliamentary term.

If anyone thinks newspaper editors are green eye shade fact checkers like those presumably at the New Yorker are dreaming. Roger can probably inform us far better about the publishing industry but I feel that Maxwell Perkins died a long time ago, not to replaced. The myth of editing.
