...long Eden assured his fellow Tories that the country backed him, insisted that he would have no misgivings about winning a general election even if it came tomorrow, but was determined not to call an election for two years. His optimistic thesis was jarred by a by-election to fill the seat of ex-Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anthony Nutting, who had resigned in protest over Eden's Suez policies. Melton Mowbray is in the heart of Toryland, a section of fox-hunting squires and prosperous Leicestershire farmers. In the 1955 election, Nutting, who lived...
...London, hot-lipped Trumpeter Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong and five local cats out-blasted the whole blasted Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which sought to play under the hesitant, finally motionless, baton of Conductor Norman Del Mar. After running wild until shortly before midnight, Satchmo, on hand as a guest artist to fill out, not ruin, the Philharmonic, loped off stage while a flustered impresario temporarily confiscated his trumpet to prevent an all-night encore. But the hep types filling Royal Festival Hall screamed and stomped for more. (One of the most insistent: the rock-'n'-rolling Duke of Kent.) Unable...
When Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler. California National Committeeman Paul Ziffren and other dogged Stevenson enthusiasts dreamed up the Democratic Advisory Committee to pressure for liberal legislation in Congress (TIME, Dec. 10), they ranged 20 chairs around the advisory table and hopefully named 20 Democrats to fill them.

Battle announced that he would not become a member under any circumstances. Last week came the ultimate blow when...
With that, Eden drove off to 10 Downing Street. Twice his car was stopped by long lines of cars blocking the roads around gasoline stations as motorists seized their last chance to fill their tanks before the imposition of rationing. At 10 Downing Street, a small crowd mustered a faint cheer and a scattering of boos. Waiting only to receive India's Prime Minister Nehru next day, Eden retired to Chequers, the Prime Minister's country home, for the weekend...
...Kinsey report will go on-and on. Dr. Paul H. Gebhard, an anthropologist and the new executive director of Indiana University's Institute for Sex Research, announced last week that Founder Alfred C. Kinsey had left enough material, compiled over 18 years, to fill 20 volumes beyond the two already published. Expected next year: a book with the tentative and unconsciously funny title, Pregnancy and Its Outcome, which will devote itself to a study of pregnancies (planned and accidental), births (live and still), and abortions (spontaneous and induced...
