Abstract | He came like a breath of fresh air, eschewing pomp and ceremony, to be Hongkong's last Governor. A politician with an enviable record in Britain's Conservative Party, even though he failed to win in his own constituency in Bath, Chris Patten had John Major's blessings and ear. Here was a proconsul unlike none other before him in Hongkong, determined to preside over the liquidation of this bit of the British Emprie with panache and verve. |
