Labor's leader, Hugh Gaitskell, had waged a buoyant campaign that left him unchallenged as party leader. In defeat he felt strong enough to pledge himself to "a vow of silence, self-imposed," while he "collected the voices" about what was wrong and what needed to be changed. But at his middle-class Hampstead home in north London, he chose to consult not with trade-union leaders, with whom he feels uncomfortable, but with fellow Oxford intellectuals such as Economist Douglas Jay, who publicly urged that the party should drop its "class image" and "nationalization myth" and even consider...

Bernard Shaw's "three-ring circus," as H. L. Mencken called Man and Superman, "with Ibsen doing running high jumps; Schopenhauer playing the Calliope and Nietzsche selling peanuts in the reserved seats," runs a paltry three hours and fifteen minutes in its deft and buoyant revival by the Group 20 Players.
