...tough fighters or bright young men were being developed in the unions to take their places. The class barriers of the bad old days had enriched the labor movement by keeping men of ability like Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin within the working class.

With government scholarships, bright boys would end up as smooth-tongued Oxford dons like Board of Trade President Harold Wilson.

...twice-married Mary Lou was having no trouble adding more diamonds to her crown as a queen of jazz. In her spare time, she was still turning out such imaginative first-class concert arrangements as her Georgia Brown, Blue Skies and Shorty Boo for Duke Ellington (her latest: Scorpio and Lonely Moments).
