...chauffeured by his wife Violet, got an affectionate wel come everywhere. City-bred Herbert Mor rison, the party's No. 2, headed for Lancashire with his bride, a Lancashire lass, to try his cockney wit in a strategic voting area where he can now claim kinship. Rebel Rouser Aneurin Bevan careened through the industrial towns and docksides to roll his rich Welsh voice behind Bevanite candidates and Bevanite notions. In a manner reminiscent of days gone by, when he likened the Tories to "vermin," Nye got off to an impish start by likening the Tories to the biblical Gadarene...
...even Diogenes had a tougher task than the special committee of the Labor Party appointed to find "assurances as to the future conduct" of rebellious Aneurin Bevan. But unpredictable Nye himself did what he could to make their job easier. He was haled before the committee last week for a 20-minute confrontation that was marred only by a few heated exchanges with his archrival, Hugh Gaitskell.

...through with it. He has changed his mind before, and he is capable of changing it again; but the pressure on him is growing because the Tories plan to hold a general election this year-and they want Eden to lead them. With the Laborites bitterly divided over Rebel Aneurin Bevan (see below), the chances of a Tory victory appear greater than they have been in years. The most recent Gallup poll in the London News Chronicle gives Labor 44½% of the vote (a decline of almost 3% since last November), compared with 46½% for the government. This...
