...bitter Spectator article, Macleod charged that Sir Alec Douglas-Home was chosen to succeed Prime Minister Harold Macmillan only because Macmillan could not bear the thought of his then-deputy, R. A. Butler, taking the reins. And Butler, argued Macleod, was "incomparably the best qualified of the contenders." When the ailing Macmillan decided to resign, he soon saw that none of his own favorites in the Cabinet had a decisive lead over Butler. Since "Macmillan was determined that Butler should not succeed him," the Prime Minister arranged an elaborate set of party soundings weighted to show that Home was everybody...
Bernstein conceives of the prayer as less a lament for the dead than an affirmation of life in the face of death, a celebration of God at the very moment when his mystery is the most difficult to bear.

Judge Morgan's action did not affect the jury's verdict against the Post, which in an article last spring had accused Butts and University of Alabama Football Coach "Bear" Bryant of conspiring to fix the 1962 Georgia-Alabama game. Indeed, the judge went out of his way to commend that verdict. "The article was clearly defamatory and extremely so," he said.
