corridors of power. This expression was first a name for the British Whitehall ministries and the senior civil servants who run them, those top people who can make important decisions. Now corridors of power has come to be used all over the world. The term was popularized by C. P. Snow’s novel Corridors of Power (1964), but Snow himself had employed it years before in his novel Homecomings (1959). No one seems to know who coined it. |
