Polished, pleasant, hawk-eyed Chris Herter, says a close friend, has never had "that indefinable something that makes dogs and children follow him down the street"-but his recognized abilities were enough to get him narrowly elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1952, and his skilled, if unspectacular, performance was enough to get him overwhelmingly re-elected in 1954.

He threw his support behind social security, gave needed protection to individuals facing tribunals, fought for aliens' right to live permanently in Britain, has been the champion of an up-to-date censorship law. After Suez, when Harold Macmillan was chosen instead of him to succeed Eden at 10 Downing Street, Butler remarked: "Well, it is something to have...
