| Notes | "Simon liked committees. He was always on the look out for something new and interesting and they gave him an opportunity for finding out what was going on...After a meeting at Harwell to discuss co-operation with the Clarendon someone said: "Do you know what Simon means by co-operation? Sitting at a table and going away with £5000 for the Clarendon". (From Nancy Arms <i>A Prophet in Two Countries - A Life of FE Simon</i>, pp138 |
