This week: Our Man in El Salvador
The Union Jack flies outside his window, from the bonnet of his car, is imprinted on his loyalties. Geoffrey William Kirk, C.M.G.; born August 9, 1907; educated Mill Hill and London University; salary £4,385 a year; job? - British Ambassador to El Salvador. He's our man there. He has a staff. He is the leader of a small British community in a Central American country so remote that when most people are sent there they ask: 'Where is it?' and then: 'Why pick on me?' It is an expatriate community ruled by the Union Jack but dominated by gossip and intrigue, patriotism and jingoism.
