by A. E. Campbell
Fellow of Keble College, Oxford Mr. Campbell believes that what has been called the special Anglo-American relationship is a myth developed by the British for British purposes, and now useless. He suggests that the great difference between American and British attitudes to the Common market reveals a new American myth in formation.
