This week's prize for compression goes to Lord Roll, scheduled to speak on "Errors in British Economic Policy 1945-95" to the Institute for Contemporary British History conference at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London.

The time allotted for this topic is a mere 60 minutes. A more prolix performer could probably find material enough to fill all five days of the event, nights included.
