Packing His Bags--Again.(Peter Mendelson)(Brief Article)
Peter Mandelson's first rough landing came just two years ago: he was forced to resign as Britain's Trade secretary after failing to disclose a [pound]373,000 home loan given to him by another minister. The disgrace was fleeting. Within months his close friend Tony Blair named Mandelson Northern Ireland secretary, effectively rehabilitating the Labour government's former spinmaster and media bully. Last week the press got its sweet revenge--reporting that Mandelson had once helped an Indian tycoon get a British passport.
