Berman, who is a New Yorker and a Jew, spoke with compassion of the woes of the Palestinian Arabs (he pronounced the word "Ay-rab" and referred to Sirhan as "Saran").

The shuffle of the "Conservative Consultative Com mittee," as the Tory shadow Cabinet is formally called, was occasioned by the resignation from Commons of Rab Butler, 62, who ends his long, brilliant, but in the end frustrated political career by moving to the House of Lords. In for Butler as shadow Foreign Secretary went Reggie Maudling, who needs to broaden his basically economic background if he is ever to become Prime Minister. Maudling also retained his post as Home's stand-in at the powerful party leaders' committee, which makes him the closest thing to deputy...
