...more modest way of dress for bishops and cardinals. "In every earthly hierarchy," he wrote, "there is little overt indication of differing rank. Among us, however, there still exist various modes of dress and pomposities which serve to affirm different positions: flaming colors, ermine, trains. People would be edified to see ecclesiastics dress simply...
Having mastered the lesson that Castro was a Communist from way back, the moral was drawn: Communism is congenital. It is not a political response to certain conditions, but a pathological state, overt in those who espouse it, latent in those who but show the symptoms (Agrarian reform, trade with the East, a vocabulary that includes "imperialism" ...).

Macmillan's overt aim was to free Butler to act as his personal deputy, and take charge of the group of ministers assigned to handle Britain's crucial negotiations with the European Common Market. Shrewd, tart-tongued "Rab" Butler, who has long been Macmillan's chief rival for 10 Downing Street, was thus removed from the party's nerve center to an assignment that could make or break the government-but will reflect luster...
