“... people sometimes conform to type, but whether the causes of this are historical or biological. Ewen and Ewen might belatedly concede that some stereotypes are neutral or affirmative, while continuing to condemn the more negative varieties. But some derogatory stereotypes are perfectly justified; and if only these authors ...”

“... an exciting but squalid Brixton house-share. (We even had some links with the Trainspotting cast: Ewen Bremner had my room before I did, and Kelly Macdonald stayed with us for a couple of weeks while filming Stella Does Tricks, in which she played a teenage runaway, from a script by A.L. Kennedy. She was nice, poised, quiet, and had what I remember as a ...”

“... legal systems of early modern Europe, arguing that each side of the contrast is a caricature. Ewen Cameron accounts for the ‘smugness’ that radiated from 19th-century British constitutional interpreters, writing that Britons contrasted their enduring ancient constitution with the unstable history of revolutions, counter-revolutions and coups d’état ...”

“... In London, Emile Levita rose to be a director of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China; Ewen Cameron joined the fledgling Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corporation as its Calcutta agent. HSBC? Perhaps that’s one family connection the prime minister can do ...”

“... quite a bit of time objecting to the Guardian’s ideas – for instance, its suggestion that Ewen MacAskill, an experienced reporter, go to Hong Kong with him and Poitras. The Guardian knew, as it did in its earlier dealings with Julian Assange, that sources aren’t the same as journalists, and that not all journalists can make a story ...”

“... released in 1953, was a non-fiction book by the gambit’s architect, Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu of naval intelligence. Three years later, his discreet and highly redacted The Man Who Never Was became a film, in which he played a cameo role as an air-force officer who questions the wisdom of the scheme. In the meantime, Ian Colvin, a journalist ...”

“... he says, and the minder trudges off to make sure Paul doesn’t get up to any mischief. I speak to Ewen MacAskill, the Guardian’s diplomatic correspondent, in London. We talk about Luke Harding, the paper’s reporter in northern Iraq, and what a good position he’s in there, with relative freedom to move about and report, and the likelihood of him being ...”

“... to carry out military duties well. A typical example of the acceptance of war is the career of Ewen Macpherson of Cluny, who was swept from the Hanoverian militia into the Jacobite army in 1745, used his considerable organising talents within it and ended his days in French service. He would probably have preferred to have spent his life in his chosen ...”

“... rob critics of their second ticket, deny them open questions at a crucial press conference, fire Ewen Balfour, his popular and respected head of PR, appoint a new PR chief in the shape of the phone-slinging Keith Cooper and allow unconditional access to the cameras that put the House on television in January 1996. Isaacs’s lack of judgment remains ...”

“... but also the frustrations and dissatisfactions of their lives today. His subjects include Caridad Ewen, an Afro-Cuban woman from the poor, rural east of the island who eventually became vice minister of trade; her son Oscar Matienzo, one of a new generation of Cuban businessmen; Arturo Montoto, a dissident painter who went into exile but returned to Cuba ...”

“... knowing quite a bit about their contents. In his book Harding describes the moment when Ewen MacAskill, the Guardian journalist who travelled to Hong Kong along with Greenwald and Poitras to meet Snowden for the first time, took out his iPhone and asked Snowden whether he minded ‘if he taped their interview, and perhaps took some ...”

“... has edited the Reformists’ Register for Pickering and Chatto (2003), and David Kent and D.R. Ewen have published, with Wayne State University Press, a generous selection of his satires and letters (2002). But no one has told the story of the trials more grippingly than Wilson, or conveyed better the extraordinary atmosphere in the Guildhall, or given a ...”

“... British Conservative Party’s views on state intervention. One of the more interesting, Ewen Green’s Ideologies of Conservatism (2002), was concerned with two debates in particular – the argument in the first decades of the century about whether a return to tariffs would reduce unemployment and develop imperial markets, and the historical ...”

“... Gloucestershire, Lucas discovers such groupings as, first, the Gimson/Barnsley craft communes at Ewen; then Daneway, Detmar Blow’s ‘soviet’ at Hilles; and eventually that grouping of Haines’s friends, the Dymock Poets – for Gurney the constant link.
