...Harold Macmillan's son Maurice, who was Economic Secretary to the Treasury, lost in Halifax; Postmaster-General Reginald Bevins was beaten in Liverpool; Health Minister Anthony Barber fell at Doncaster; and Geoffrey Rippon, Minister of Works, was defeated at Norwich. But Labor had a bad local setback too. Patrick Gordon Walker, slated to be Foreign Secretary, was beaten in his constituency of Smethwick, a part of Birmingham where the race issue is raging because of heavy immigration by West Indians, Pakistanis and Sikhs from India, turning whole neighborhoods into slums. Because the Laborites originally opposed Tory-sponsored curbs...
...Patrick Gordon Walker, 57, Foreign Secretary. One of the original staunch supporters of the late Labor Party chief Hugh Gaitskell, he has since loyally followed Wilson.

The titles are blunt: "Communism and the Negro Revolution" (44 pages, published by the "Patrick Henry Group"); "The Socialistic Views of Nelson Rockefeller" (published by the Independent American, "a national Conservative newspaper, which is dedicated to the restoration of Constitutional Government"); and "The Time Has Come, An Up-to-date Report to Those Who Know the Score" (by Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society...
Lyndon was unmistakably Lyndon, right down to the bifurcated chin. Barry was incontrovertibly Barry-box jaw, brow wrinkles, horn rims and all. Few U.S. cartoonists have so deftly distilled the spirit of these two men as Australia's Patrick Bruce Oliphant, 29, a recent arrival who has not yet set eyes on either Johnson or Goldwater and who took over the editorial cartoonist's drawing board at the Denver Post only last month...
