Book excerpt: For over three decades Roy Strong has teased, tantalized, amused, and sometimes enraged the British public, firstly in his capacity as the Director of two great cultural institutions, the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and more recently as a broadcaster, writer, garden expert, and historian. Provocative on the issues of running a cash-starved museum, above all the diaries are a wonderfully entertaining chronicle of an age and some of its most memorable celebrities.
