...fire which we sometimes found too hot, by which we were sometimes scorched, but a fire which warmed and cheered us and stimulated us." In a corner seat of the front bench below the gangway sat the solitary figure of Sir Winston Churchill, who had often been Nye Bevan's bitterest foe. When Gaitskell recalled some of Nye's fierce sallies, including the attack on Churchill when he cried that he welcomed the "opportunity of picking the bloated bladder of lies with the poniard of truth," Churchill gave a fleeting smile of remembrance and made a gracious...
Lost Prize. All Britain mourned the passing of the wild-haired Welshman who, in 30 years of public life, had never quite made it to the top. Except for Churchill, Nye Bevan was the greatest orator Britain has known in this century. His lilting, cadenced speech struck passion into friends and foes alike; his fierce socialism demanded instant nationalization of industry, instant disarmament, instant betterment for workers and the poor. Yet in Nye, Socialism seemed locked in battle with a vaunting personal ambition. Time and again he reached the brink of power in his party and his country, only...
...dogmatic leftists in the party, this was heresy, a betrayal of socialist principles; only a single commanding speech by Labor's fiery second-in-command, Aneurin Bevan, standing by his leader, kept the party conference from falling apart in November.

Draft Dropped. The 1918 clause was kept, but a modernized clarification was tacked on, and-in the evangelical language so dear to Labor-promptly dubbed the New Testament. In a phrase lifted from a speech by Nye Bevan, who lifted it in turn from a 1922 speech by Lenin, it called for "substantial enough" common ownership to give power over the "commanding heights of the economy." Surviving from Hugh Gaitskell's original draft was a line "recognizing that both public and private enterprise have a place in the economy...
...sent to the senate judiciary committee. Said Chairman Edwin J. Regan, a Democrat, who scheduled a hearing this week: "I would think that if the bill were not reported out by the committee, that would be the end of it." Meanwhile, Los Angeles County Superior Judge Clement D. Nye set Chessman's ninth execution date: May 2. Just as predictable as the death of Brown's bill in the legislature was the likelihood that California would march toward Caryl Chessman's ninth execution date amid still another great worldwide uproar...
