Description
Summary:	As the story unfolded in the newspapers -- [George Osborne]'s account of the conversation with [Peter Mandelson] in the Greek taverna, Rothschild's letter to the Times, the revelations of Mandelson's previous dealings with the oligarch -- it seemed as if we were reading an episode from Simon Raven's Alms for Oblivion series.
