...Cain, however, who got the last word. He described the entire affair in an article entitled "The Legion Invades a Campus," which was published in the Sept. 9 issue of "The Nation." The Trade Editor of the MacMillan company read the article, liked it, and invited Cain to work on a book for MacMillan taking up the general subject of conservative learings in American youth...
United Ranks. Macmillan reinforced his key appointments by naming eleven lively, like-minded younger Tories to second-level posts. Among them: Geoffrey Rippon, 38, an expert on European local government and Britain's housing problems, who was named to the new post of Minister of Public Building and Works; Edward du Cann, also 38, who organized a spectacularly successful investment fund in his early 30s, and now becomes economic secretary to the Treasury; Nigel Fisher, 49, one of the few Tories to denounce the government's bill restricting Commonwealth immigration, who becomes parliamentary under secretary to the Colonial...

He retrieved his reputation as President of the Board of Trade, a key economic post in which, despite gloomy expectations, he managed to expand Britain's trade with the Common Market.
