...before, Aneurin Bevan, the man who will be Foreign Secretary in any new Labor government, laid down his views at a preconference rally. Bevan had just come back from a tour in which he met face to face with Khrushchev, Zhukov, Gomulka and other Soviet-bloc leaders. Nye seemed to have seen much good, observed little evil, and gained no wisdom...
...became leader of the Labor Party 19 months ago moderate Hugh Gaitskell has been trying to reassure the British public that his party is no longer wildly socialistic-and hoping that the party's left wing would not overhear him and prove him wrong.
