His energy and competitiveness made him a fierce opponent at squash or table tennis. A decisive break came in 1956 when he was awarded a Commonwealth Fund fellowship to the US, where he studied at the University of Chicago and at Stanford. He would dash off in the lunch hour with a colleague to the Royal Automobile Club, play squash until he had won, then plunge into the pool and swim lengths until it was time to go back to the office. Thank you for all the beautiful tributes to the most magical of men.' My soulmate for 39 years.
