	'Longford' - TELEVISION REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		Premiering tonight, the HBO movie "Longford" stars Jim Broadbent as the real-life Frank Pakenham, Earl of Longford, an esteemed but doddering Labor Parliamentarian with a soft spot for society's unwanted and condemned.
		Even when Lord Longford finally brings himself to listen to the tape recording of Hindley tormenting one of her victims, the sound of her voice quickly fades into metaphor — string music, of a sort heard in horror movies.
		Longford, a converted and devout Catholic who also assailed against the corrosive effects of pornography, visited and pushed for the rehabilitation of prison inmates throughout his life.

		The Earl of Snowdon has accepted a seat in the reformed House of Lords, to the astonishment of the government which had expected the former husband of Princess Margaret to follow the example of members of the royal family who have waived their right to sit in parliament.
		However, ministers are privately dismayed by the earl's decision, which flies in the face of the royal family's decision to turn down seats in the reformed house.
		But in a sign of the palace's dismay at the earl's decision, the spokesman pointed out that four "peers of the royal blood", whose titles were created in their lifetimes, would not take life peerages.

		Longford replies that it would have denied him the privilege of having met her - and of having his belief in the need for human compassion tested.
