Changes

As brother of the Prime minister, Major-Ball fell within the sweep of the media spotlight and he was frequently asked to comment on matters political and otherwise. His seemingly naive reactions gave amusement (although he was sharp enough to be in on the joke), but he was careful never to say anything that reflected badly on his brother. He recorded his life story in the volume of memoirs ''Major Major'', which became a minor best-seller. After his brother left office in 1997, Major-Ball's fortunes likewise declined (at least in terms of media exposure), something he accepted with wry good humor.
