...almost any standard of measurement, Billy Graham's month-long Lon don crusade (TIME, June 10) ended as still another record-smashing triumph for the tireless evangelist. In all, Billy preached to 955,368 people, more than in any previous 30-day period in his life, and inspired 42,487 to come for ward to make their "decision for Christ." Despite early rumors that the crusade, which cost $840,000 to mount, might become his first major campaign to lose money, it had an estimated $42,000 surplus.

He packed off his Cabinet for three weeks of enforced "self-study" while he attended a Commonwealth conference in Lon don, turned the government over to three hand-picked cronies in his absence. Ever suspicious of his army, he fired its commanders when he heard rumors that they had been "talking against" him, took command of the army himself.

...Often the British are insular, but their determination must be recorded," he said, and so he did all through the war, never more memorably than by placing his microphone near the sidewalk to catch the unhurried footsteps of Londoners walking calmly to the air-raid shelters. Last week Lon don was calling again, this time to tell Murrow, 56, that Britons will know him as Sir Edward from now on. Queen Elizabeth made him an honorary knight commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, in recognition of his furtherance of Anglo-American understanding. Ed himself...
