...Michigan's bow-tied. New-Dealing Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams won a fifth term after a seemingly easygoing-hut decidedly breathless-campaign against his toughest competition ever: Detroit's capable Republican Mayor Albert E. Cobo, 63. Soapy benefited mightily from Michigan's split-ticket voters was even strong upstate, far from the A.F.L.-C.I.O. machines in the big cities...

After ten months of leadership (the leader chosen by the party's 277 M.P.s), Gaitskell faced the whole party for the first time. The delegates were cool toward him in the beginning, but warmed to the speech, delivered with confidence and fervor, with which Gaitskell wound up a later debate. The cheers kept on until Gaitskell rose and took a bow-a tribute almost never tendered at Laborite conventions. Raising a hand...
