Notes
1. A president for revival, The Round Table, no. 201, December 1960, pp. 46–54. This article is shaped by its Cold War context and has little to say on JFK's views on Africa or the developing world, although it notes that his views on Algeria had annoyed the French and that he attached great importance to the presence of “a perceptive, able United States Ambassador at the UN”. It makes much of Kennedy as the first Catholic to occupy the White House and speculates that he might hold a “vestigial Catholic admiration” for a Holy Roman Empire which could affect his attitude to Europe and Common Market. Half a century on, one wonders how long America will wait for its first Muslim president or, equally shocking to vast tracts of Middle America, a self-declared atheist in the White House.
2. Carter's accession to power went unremarked in The Round Table and the editorial of January 2005 was given over to the Boxing Day tsunami, a Commonwealth tragedy, rather than events in Washington. In an earlier period RT showed particular interest in the personality and policies of Roosevelt.
3. See http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1863641,00.html (accessed 1 February 2009).
5. An open letter to the US Secretary of State, The Round Table, no. 281, January 1981, pp. 3–8.
6. I have failed in my attempts to track down the source of this story. It last surfaced as one of Gordon Brown's recycled jokes and was there told of President Nixon in Ghana. See http://www.epolitix.com/latestnews/article-detail/newsarticle/sketch-brown-qampa/. Richard Nixon and Martin Luther King met and talked, probably for the first time at Ghana's Independence celebrations in 1957. The story may originate there.
7. Commonwealth for a Colour Blind World (London: Allen & Unwin, 1965).
