...only two hours; the rest of the time, 52-year-old Dave Ingalls did the talking for him; the Taftmen well knew that he was eminently qualified for the job. A cousin* and long the closest friend of Mr. Republican, he is also Taft's personable junior partner, and the man in charge of his campaign. It was Ingalls who sparked Taft's Senate campaign in 1950; it was he who convinced Taft that he could win the presidential nomination...

...time it seemed that, as third partner (with Chesterton and Maurice Baring) in the century's greatest debating team (with Bernard Shaw as their greatest opponent), Belloc would settle down into the role of Britain's foremost Roman Catholic apologist. He did, but he went right on behaving as perversely as ever-regularly downing two bottles of French claret at a sitting, composing rowdy songs in praise of beer, vagabondage and Rabelais, and penning, in Cautionary Verses, those cynical little masterpieces of nursery rhyme in which the jollification of well-bred children was neatly intermixed with gibes...
