...overnight success. His speeches-meticulously prepared, subtly reasoned, peppered with quiet wit-bored the House. But the ability to bore is rather well regarded in the House of Commons as a sign of soundness. Rab turned from oratory to committee and administrative work to prove his soundness. He was cautious, he was courteous, he never spoke out of turn, he never spoke unless well prepared. His voice was as clear as his logic. "The bullyboys may make the headlines," said a colleague, "but it is to the young Rabs that Tory leaders look for their successors." In 1931, Sir Samuel...
When a foreign-affairs debate opened in Parliament last week, Pearson and St. Laurent were in, a more cautious mood. Pearson, leading off with a review of foreign policy, completely skipped the subject of Red China. St. Laurent openly apologized for the "loose language" that had given the impression that he favored recognition soon. Said St.Laurent: "Under present conditions.

About seven out of ten teachers said that they were "cautious" about the magazines and books they read. Four out of ten admitted that they tended to "avoid" such topics as the New Deal, public housing, McCarthy, Communism. Some teachers (21½%) even expressed concern over talking about the Bill of Rights and the Fifth Amendment. A few (17%) were definitely afraid of "being spied upon" by loyalty investigators.

But in one balance-sheet figure, cautious Montgomery Ward-"the only bank with a store front"-had the edge. Ward owed no money, and its cash of $23 million and Government securities of $270 million were equal to about $45 a share on the 6,502,378 shares outstanding. Sears owed $200 million, and its $320 million in cash...
British Conservatives gave a cautious cheer last week. In two by-elections, their candidates won handsomely. Both seats are Tory strongholds: the Arundel & Shoreham district of West Sussex is a rich man's garden, and Harrogate is a Yorkshire spa packed with retired gentlefolk. But in face of the traditional loss of popularity of the party in power, the Tories won a higher percentage of the vote than they had in the 1951 election. That made it seven by-elections in a row (six of them Tory victories) in which the Tories have increased their 1951 percentages...
