...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...
When British Attorney General Douglas Hogg accepted a hereditary peerage in 1928, his son was furious. Down from Oxford stormed young Quintin McGarel Hogg, complaining that the new family title would one day keep him from becoming Prime Minister-since British Prime Ministers by tradition are chosen from the House of Commons, not the Lords.

Lethal Chamber. Both major parties would welcome the return to Commons of respected and experienced politicians who have been exiled to The Other Place. Among them: former Tory Party Chairman Viscount Hailsham, now Leader of the House of Lords, who as Quintin Hogg, M.P., was a longtime star of Commons debates, and Foreign Secretary Lord Home, who was a lackluster Tory M.P. but has made a deep impact on the party in the past two years. In Tory inner circles, both are regarded as among the half-dozen potential candidates to succeed Prime Minister Harold Macmillan...
...that he does is Vice President Lyndon Johnson, whose power at home hangs on a Connally victory. Yarborough tried to stir support by challenging Connally to a television debate. Connally cannily turned down the dare, whereupon Yarborough exploded: "The great Governors of the past, such as Sam Houston, Jim Hogg and Jimmy Allred. would have never placed their tails between their legs and slunk away from the challenge...
