The American Bar Association had just met in London to discuss the differences between American and English jurisprudence, and that is our starting point with Sir Peter. The conversation turns at times to technical points of judicial behavior and self-policing by British barristers; but there are also fascinating reflections on British history. For example, when Mr. Buckley raises the matter of the turmoil on American campuses, Sir Peter agrees that Britain hasn't seen its like recently--but he adds: "You always remember, though, the great sort of riots in London. They were usually by the apprentices. They were great mobs in the 18th century, and Wellington's hat being knocked off and Lord North's coat jacket cut into bits, and the windows being broken. And that was, after all, not so very long ago.... I don't know. Perhaps in my generation, having been very early confronted with violence in war, one has the greatest contempt for those people who are driven to violence, unless the circumstances are such that they are utterly intolerable."
