Scope and content

Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of having Trevor-Roper write a popular version of the BBSU report. It needs to be made clear that what is wanted is a review for "the man in the street" not a critical enquiry into previous work and research. On a separate point, SZ disputes Tedder's contention that the report has overstepped the BBSU's original remit.
