Diana McLellan is a Washington Times gossip columnist. 'The Ear', as she's called, came from Norfolk in the 50s. A prime target for gossip is the White House: President Reagan's former advisor on the Middle East is Dr Geoffrey Kemp from Gravesend; and the State Department spokesman, John Hughes , came from Wales. At George Washington University, the Professor of American History is Marcus Cunliffe. Completing this group of Washington aliens is the former Editor of The Times, Harold Evans.
