In the event, they got their faces rubbed in the ashes of resentment: by an 84-to-18 vote, the National Committee specifically commended Paul Butler for his "forthright utterances on civil rights...
Evening after evening Willy Brandt motored from school to factory to beerhall, and addressed what Berliners call "felt-slipper" neighborhood meetings.
