There is a story about how Robert Peel had found some dirt on a very young and fobbish Disraeli, who was in the habit of totally castigating said Peel in the House of Commons in front of everyone. Then one day Peel had the dirt on Disraeli and could have completely obliterated his career by speaking openly about it to the whole Parliament.

But he held back. And Disraeli eventually became the Prime Minister.

Always loved that story...Peel had class. I hope it was Peel...I read the biography on Disrael in 1985.

Sorry for the digression.
