Guardian Unlimited Politics Special Reports Obituary: Lord Longford Longford was tempted to decline the offer and await a suitable byelection, but feared that, since his childless elder brother was in poor health, it was inevitable that he would soon become the Earl of Longford. In terms of prestige, Longford had reached the pinnacle of his career but, in practice, he was impotent, and often resorted to playing up to his image as the cabinet jester. Though included in the 1964 cabinet as leader of the Lords, Longford knew he was only there as a sop to the Gaitskellites. politics.guardian.co.uk /politicsobituaries/story/0,1441,563425,00.html   (2262 words)

An Evelyn Waugh Website : Obituaries Francis Aungier Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford (1905-2001), known as ‘Frank’, was for half a century one of the most celebrated peers in Britain. Pakenham was the second son of the fifth Earl of Longford. He nevertheless gave Longford the job of Leader of the House of Lords and some subsidiary responsibilities which Longford himself felt he never fully succeeded in doing properly, mainly because the poisonous atmosphere of rivalry and back-biting that characterised Harold Wilson’s cabinets was both disabling and discouraging for a man of Longford’s open, generous temperament. www.abbotshill.freeserve.co.uk /Obituaries.htm   (14145 words)
