	Anthony Asquith Biography
		The son of a Liberal Prime Minister who later became the Earl of Oxford and Asquith, Puffin was brought up in No. 10 Downing Street; but, unlike his father, his half-brothers and his sister, Lady Violet Bonham Carter, he was not remotely interested in politics and even less in law.
		His love of music, evident when he was two years old, led to his decision to be a composer; it was a shattering blow, when, after all honest appraisal of his own talent, he realised he would have to seek a different career.
		At Oxford he diverted himself by going to the cinema and his quick mind showed him the possibility of applying art much more effectively to the screen.

	TIME.com: Schism Among Shadows -- Jun. 7, 1926 -- Page 1
		Lloyd George—an irrepressible pro-Boer "was attempting to lead the Liberal party leftward, while the present Earl of Oxford and Asquith* strove—then as now—to curb what he deemed the too great liberality of Liberals.
		This exalted spat between two once omnipotent statesmen burst forth when the Earl of Oxford and Asquith, official leader of the Liberal party, set out to give to Lloyd George, Liberal leader by popular consent, a reprimand and dressing down for his pro-Laborite attitude during the great "general strike" (TIME, May 10 to May 24).
		George, tugged in the opposite direction, revealed the true origin of the Earl's spleen—exposed anew the gaping Liberal rift.
