Alastair Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1518 words) |
 | Campbell was the son of a veterinarian who was of Scottish origin, but was working in Keighley at the time of his son's birth. |
| Campbell intervened personally to complain whenever media outlets ran stories he felt were unhelpful to the campaign, and was not afraid to attack journalists personally when they displeased him. |
| Campbell's control of the traditional Lobby System under which a select group of accredited journalists were given privileged access to the Prime Minister's spokesman (and the journalistic kudos that this access could bring) meant that he wielded a good deal of power over the media, as previous Press Secretaries had found. |
| Otis M Poole Life (2620 words) |
| Tony's devoted baby-amah, Old Mine, the daughter of a Sugita fisherman, brought up several foreign children, and being now over fifty, her kind, honest face reassembled an old ivory "netsuke"; but never was there a more loving and gentle soul. |
| Tony had always been of an artistic temperament and besides drawing and painting with unusual ability was naturally musical and by the time he was twelve or thirteen played the piano with an appealing touch and sensitivity. |
| Tony came to feel, however, that he needed travel and more mature experience as a springboard for a literary career and turned his attention in college to studies that would be more helpful in a commercial career. |
