Governor Warren's disclaimers of candidacy sound more wholehearted than Governor Dewey's because he declares that he not only intends to finish out his present gubernatorial term but "God and the people willing, I hope to be governor for a second four years."

Already 450 acres of the estate surrounding Wentworth Woodhouse, ancestral Fitzwilliams seat in Yorkshire, had been chewed by huge shovels scooping out subsurface coal. A farm, a woodland, a parkland had been dug up. Soon a stud farm, paddocks, fish pond, tree nursery, stately avenues and timbered slopes would also go. The place was a "complete mess...
