...same very disagreeable decisions to take again, to repeat them." Those were to be the last words he was ever to speak in his 34 years in the House of Commons. As the Speaker broke in to move adjournment, Eden fell back onto his seat, head lolling on the green cushioning as he stared vacantly upward. Only when a colleague tugged at his arm did he heave himself to his feet and walk into the lobby to vote. "There goes a 'done' man,'' said one watching...
Hubert Humphrey is a club member along with such conservatives as Theodore Green and Harry Byrd. How did Humphrey get there? You will remember him for his floor fight at the 1948 Democratic convention (in defiance of agreements among party leaders) to get a firm civil rights plank in the platform.

Around the frail old woman, in her gold slippers and purple kimono, hovered the engineers. For four and five hours at a stretch they recorded together, listened, recorded again. The fruits of a year's recording, released in a new RCA Victor album, constitute perhaps the most important single contribution to Mozart interpretation in his bicentennial year...
