Not all Britons were convinced of Clem's ability to make the distinction. A Liberal Party spokesman warned Attlee & Co. that they were treading "on very hot bricks." London's Economist scolded the former Prime Minister sharply for "serving the purposes of a [hostile | propaganda machine" (see box), and Attlee's own onetime Minister of State, Hector McNeil, denounced...

...scrawls her column in longhand that only her secretary can read, usually rewrites her This Week column five or six times. Clem speaks in a hoarse whisper as a result of an operation in which part of her larynx and vocal cords were removed 20 years ago (it took her a year to learn to talk again). In her summer home in Redding. Conn., she likes to cook in the open fireplace over the coals. "I think I cook a nice meal," she says modestly, prefers simple curries, baked beans and brown bread, spaghetti. One night a week...
