...never seen such "knock-kneed" leadership in his life, and once again there were many to say that Nye Be van (now living it up on a tour of India) was, after all, the party's best choice for leadership. Such talk always pleases the Tories-Nye Bevan makes such a fine bogeyman to wave at British middle-class voters...
...Venice resolution brought cries of delight from Socialists all over Europe. "This is a great achievement," said French Socialist Senator Pierre Commin, the man who persuaded Nenni and Saragat to begin their merger negotiations (TIME. Sept. 10).

Since then, some of his Socialist opponents have professed that they see little difference between the economic policies of Hugh Gaitskell and R.A. Butler, Eden's Tory heir apparent.
