Robert Robinson recalls February 1950.

In the General Election Mr Attlee's government was returned to power with a majority of seven and elected to Parliament for the first time were Jo Grimond, Edward Heath, and Enoch Powell. Elsewhere in the world romance blossomed. Elizabeth Taylor got engaged to Conrad Hilton; Ludovic Kennedy married the star of the ballet film The Red Shoes, Moira Shearer; Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman had a baby; the United Nations sent a team of observers to investigate the 110 wives of the Fon of Bikom; and, at London Zoo, Brumas was born.
