Britain's Science Minister, the former Lord Hailsham, who renounced his viscountcy in order to run for Parliament, last week also lost his unofficial title as the Tories' champion vote getter. As plain Quintin Hogg, he won a seat in the Commons from London's solidly Conservative St. Marylebone (pronounced Marrerbun), a well-to-do residential district that encompasses Lord's-the Yankee Stadium of cricket-as well as medicine's Harley Street, Elizabeth Barrett's Wimpole Street and Sherlock Holmes's Baker Street. However, Hogg carried the constituency with only...
...most popular Tory leaders, elfin-faced, effervescent Viscount Hailsham, last week followed the example of former Lord Home, signed away his titles and became the Right Honorable Quintin Hogg. Leaving the "political ghetto" of the House of Lords, he will probably be elected to Commons from St. Marylebone, a solidly Tory, London constituency. "Lord Hail-sham," said he, "is dead. God bless Quintin Hogg...
...John's touch has made Houston the finest orchestra in the Southwest-and, more important, a better one than Dallas. With the patronage of Houston's cultural leader, Miss Ima Hogg, 81, and a $700,000 annual budget, it plays a regular concert season embellished with "dollar night" concerts for as many as 25,000 in the Sam Houston Coliseum.

...deputy to Britain's last three Conservative Prime Ministers, rebuilder of Tory Party fortunes and everlasting heir apparent to the No. 1 post; Lord Hailsham, 56, the grandiloquent Minister for Science, who gaudily flipped his coronet into the ring, emotionally promising to renounce his title to become Quintin Hogg, M.P., in hopes of becoming P.M.; and Reginald Maudling, 46, the darling of the Conservative backbenches and brainy Chancellor of the Exchequer. An exact U.S. parallel of what Macmillan did would be impossible to draw; the closest approximation would be if a seriously ill President Kennedy had passed over Vice...
Toward a Consensus. The portly Science Minister, who at previous conferences has landed on front pages by ringing hand bells ("for Britain") and taking dips in the frigid ocean, captured the morning headlines with his announcement. But the photographers were not disappointed. Hailsham-or Quintin McGarel Hogg, M.P., as he would like to be-captured all eyes with a robust twist at a Young Conservative dance; later he captured all lapels when his friend Randolph Churchill started distributing heroic Q (for Quintin) campaign buttons...
