Midday Sun - 'a tall, bulky, red-haired individual would stride into my office and pace the small room (small carpet) like a caged tiger, gesturing freely and letting flow a spate of talk, often original and stimulating but sometimes rather out of control; he did not seem able to stop. This was Andrew Cohen, a brilliant intellectual, left wing in his politics with a Cambridge double first in Classics. He was ambitious, impetuous and accused by some of arrogance, which I think was justified, but he had considerable charm, a lot of drive and was clearly a man to be reckoned with. ............ An exceptional man, he became an exception to the tradition I have mentioned of apartheid between home and overseas. He persuaded the current Colonial Secretary, Arthur Creech Jones, to let him go out and govern Uganda, not with the happiest results. In 1953 he fell out with the Kabaka, king of the Buganda people, and had him deported to England, only to find himself obliged, two years later, to welcome back the young king with due pomp and ceremony and restore him to his kingdom.'
