...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. Nye Bevan, after a major abdominal operation, is down to a scant 140 Ibs., and living in seclusion on his Buckinghamshire farm. With Nye out of action, socialist left-wingers rose in open revolt, and the party leadership split in warring factions. Instead of stumping the country like Gladstone to stir up mass support for a new Opposition policy...
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.

Nye Bevan had his own view of the proper socialist future: "In a modern society it is impossible to get rational order by leaving things to private economic adventure. Because I am a socialist, I believe in national ownership. I believe in what Hugh Gaitskell said yesterday, because...
...sent to explain a legal problem to the younger J. P. Morgan. After he left, Morgan said: "I like that young man." Alexander's law firm assigned him to work as counsel for Morgan in the congressional investigations, and he became Morgan's chief counsel at the Nye munitions hearing, stayed by his side through his entire testimony. On Christmas Eve in 1938, Morgan summoned Alexander to his Wall Street office and invited him into partnership. After agonizing for more than a month about leaving the active practice of law, Alexander became a Morgan partner...
