...however, had their similarities. Walpole was calm and cautious; so is King. Walpole stayed in office by his skill in holding together discordant Whig factions; King owes his long tenure to skill in welding the dissimilar Liberals of French and English Canada...
...very dissimilar groups-trade unionists and those they call "bloody intellectuals"-were becoming increasingly uneasy bedfellows. Grossman, one of the latter group, was still sounding off in the New Statesman, of which he is assistant editor.

This brought on the newspaper-famed Wilson-Eberstadt fight (TIME, March 1). Two more dissimilar men than Charlie Wilson and Ferd Eberstadt could hardly have been brought face to face: Wilson, the ambitious doer, the man who came up from scratch; Eberstadt, the polished investment banker, Princeton-bred, Wall Street-trained, the man who did with pencil & paper what Charlie Wilson was used to doing with...
