	FSI Stanford News - Oxford Chancellor Christopher Patten Spoke at Stanford Institute for International Studies
		Lord Patten's address - The Transatlantic Family: Counseling, Mediation, or Divorce - although focused on American-European relations, extended to a myriad of global issues facing the transatlantic partnership.
		Patten emphasized that unlike President Bush who, he argued, won the 2004 Presidential election as a war President, in Britain Tony Blair, if he wins the general elections on May 5th this year, will do so not because of the war but despite it.
		Patten also expressed the fear that the Iraq experience will make it far more difficult to secure public support for any course of action, which will involve asking the public to put their trust in governments, and in the intelligence community in particular.

		The position of the Lord Chancellor and that of the law lords is under scrutiny as part of the reform of the House of Lords.
		Lord Irvine stood by his right to hear cases in the House of Lords and rejected the idea of a supreme court to replace the law lords as the highest appeal court.
		There was no reason why the Lord Chancellor could not sit as a law lord, he said, provided that he "abstained from expressing any concluded views on an issue coming before him judicially and does not sit in any case where the interests of the executive are directly engaged".

	Ship of Zion - Pattens
		The most impressive measure of Patten's success in the face of such rivalry was the wealth he amassed during the years between 1944, when he arrived in California, practically penniless, and 1950, when after the state had indicted him on various charges of fraud and embezzlement, he was packed off to jail.
		The students, drawn from the Patten’s congregation, were people of all ages--elderly widows and widowers, adolescents and their parents, and, after the end of the war, a number of young veterans, whose tuition Patten had arranged for the government to pay under the G.I. Bill of Rights.
		Patten's notion of tithing, one member of his congregation has said ruefully, was to permit his followers to keep a tenth of their earnings--if they insisted.

		The Lord Chancellor is able to perform that function both because of his seniority in Cabinet and because he is head of the judiciary and sits as such from time to time in the chair, on important appeals.
		"that the Lord Chancellor's dual position as head of the judiciary and a Cabinet Minister with responsibility for the administration of justice, should not be affected by the outcome of House of Lords reform".

		Lord Patten, who became chancellor of Oxford last year, said the university would struggle unless it raised more from private funding and charged higher fees.
		In a speech at Green College, Oxford, Lord Patten said he hoped tuition fees, which are being increased to a maximum £3,000 next year, would be uncapped by 2030.
		Lord Patten drew back from calling for the complete "privatisation" of Oxford, which would mean rejecting public funding altogether, even though he raised this prospect last year.
