...Chelsea Town Hall, where he attended a dance for West African students and made a little speech, the British Labor Party's great grey grumbler was introduced as "The One & Only Aneurin Bevan." Said Bevan in reply: "When I heard your chairman refer to me as "the one & only Aneurin Bevan, I heaved a sigh of relief-for if there were more of me, I would be declared an illegal association...

However, the pink-cheeked Welshman twinkled cheerfully as he castigated his private enemies and Britain's friends alike, "I know I must be careful, lest I make a controversial speech...
...moment, the Bevanite landslide was halted, but ambitious Aneurin Bevan's irresponsible larking might still cost the party its good reputation. "In any alliance that is becoming uneasy, from the military to the matrimonial," said the Economist, "it is always the partner who values unity most highly who has to make the most concession." Aneurin Bevan's new power, the Economist continued, might well mean a Labor foreign policy "shot with ideological distrust of Britain's allies and with starry-eyed illusion about its enemies...
