...come as high-but then it is usually followed by one that comes up even higher still." But Clem Attlee's thin voice did not carry conviction. "Differences within our ranks," he said.

"In the Labor Party, it's true we've been having an argument about the hydrogen bomb, and I've been in the middle of it to a certain extent." The crowd laughed appreciatively at his understatement.
