True to his expectations, they let him go unharmed. One evening last fortnight, however, as Leakey, his wife and his stepdaughter Diana Hartley were having supper at the farm, a band of 30 Mau Mau swarmed out of the woods.

But it is far from "left-wing," as his votes on two key issues indicate: he voted for the Taft-Hartley law; he voted against the Brannan Plan. In 1948 he helped Richard Nixon draft the Mundt-Nixon subversives-control bill. The Case record does not follow any party line; it follows the conscience of thinking, independent, careful Clifford Case...
