Fightback!
Dianne Hayter has hitherto always been one of those people who are around politics for ever without ever entering, because without ever seeking, the limelight. But on the front cover of her rather good book, Fightback! - Labour's Traditional Right in the 1970s and 1980s, she is depicted, addressing a meeting from that period, with black hair. Yet on Newsnight this evening, some 25 or so years later, her hair was blonde. Fightback, indeed.
