By Hasan Suroor

LONDON JULY 21. Jeffrey Archer, writer of pulp fiction and former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, was released from jail today after serving two years of a four-year sentence for perjury and perverting the course of justice.

Lord Archer, 63, emerged from the Hollesely Bay Open Prison in Suffolk a little after 8 a.m. and was greeted by one of his sons who drove him straight to his 17th century family country house in Grantchester, Cambridgeshire.
