...smooth as plasterer Super Plaster Man intended with infallible carpenter level bubble ... not so foolproof as you thought bub, little lumps and ridges up there and lines ... like spines on crests of waves of white desert movie sand each one with MGM shadow longshot of the ominous A-rab coming up over the next crest for only the sinister Saracen can see the road and you don't know how many subplots you left up there Plaster Man, trying to smooth it "all" out ... with your carpenter's level ... to make us look up and see nothing but ceiling ... because...
Broadened Horizon. 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.

Missing from the House last week were two familiar figures, both former Foreign Secretaries.

Shadow Foreign Secretary Rab Butler, 64, who twice lost out for the premiership (in 1957 and 1963), and has groomed such potential Prime Ministers as Maudling, Heath and Macleod, was relieved of his job as deputy Prime Minister and the party's most dynamic idea man. Butler's demise seemed inevitable after a pre-election newspaper interview in which Sir Alec's old rival had sardonically hinted at a Tory defeat...
