Former secretary of state Patrick Mayhew, who died this week, is the subject of a famous story that I sadly lack the resources to verify but which I can confirm is considered entirely believable. According to legend, Mayhew emerged from a sociable occasion one evening and ordered his chauffeur to take him unplanned and unannounced to Norfolk Drive, official residence of Gerry Adams, just to prove he could go where he liked. In one telling of the tale, Mayhew got out on arrival and strolled defiantly up and down the street. The security panic this would have caused in the mid 1990s needs no embellishment.
