There is a certain amount of duplicity in the little of the essay. For in the largest sense of the word, the "rebellion" is not a rebellion at all. It is made of milder stuff; it breathes an air of moderation and limit. Affirming restraint, the rebel denies his own name...
Natural Reasons. "Why do industries move South?" asks Kennedy. One cause, he admits, is "the South's natural advantages," e.g., lots of fresh, pure water, a milder climate, plenty of elbow room.

...Heart Is a Home. Bovard's style of journalism was carried on with the same driving, unsentimental tenacity by burly, hard-boiled Managing Editor Ben Reese, who retired in 1951, and now by a milder-mannered crusader, Raymond L.

Measured in terms of a degree-day unit,* the standard in the oil industry for estimating fuel-oil needs, Jersey Standard found that winters are "running about 4% warmer," and that "the long-term trend is to milder winters.'' In the coal and oil industries, such figures are important. A temperature one degree above normal every day of the heating season throughout the country can mean an annual sales drop of 25 million barrels of furnace...
...possibilities of this broad public conviction form an irresistible temptation to British politicians. Aneurin Bevan was the first to recognize them; Churchill, his mortal foe, tapped them in his famed Locarno speech in which he called for a "parley at the summit" (TIME, May 18). Yet it is a milder man than either who most sums up this strange new British brand of neo-neutralism in the cold war. His name is Clement Attlee...
