I saw the movie about it ("Scandal"), and have to say, it was incredibly boring. I guess you had to have lived during that time.

Phew, talk about a blast from the past. I assumed Profumo died long ago. I was just a kid when this happened, but it's amazing how much publicity it got, even in the US. Just before the dawn of The Beatles is how I think of it, and under the most obscure PM of recent history, Sir Alec Frederick Douglas-Home. In fact, I don't think Douglas-Home is generally known for much more than the Profumo scandal. Well, that and being good at cricket.

At least it involved a woman this time. (As some wag wrote back then.)

I remember this scandal also. I think there was another young woman involved. BIG news of the time.

I think he made amends. May he rest in peace.
