...match Sir Winston Churchill. He proved it again last week. His platform was the Winter Gardens at Margate, where 4,000 Tory bigwigs sat in party convention beneath a panoply of Union Jacks. They sang For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, and cheered until the rafters rang when he suddenly appeared before them, a beaming, black-jacketed old gentleman, venerable as Queen Victoria, familiar...
...world watched, the first moments of greatness touched the mayor of Berlin, raising him into the company of those who catch and express the spirit of their time. As Churchill's voice had rung from Britain in the dark days of 1940, so the voice of Ernst Reuter rang out from blockaded Berlin, defying the enemy, rousing the free.

...Trades Union Congress. The Bevanites came with thoraxes well oiled and briefcases crammed with speeches and resolutions concocted to harass, convert, and, if possible, uproot the T.U.C.'s Percheron-stolid leadership. Amplified by Communist and fellow-traveler support which they disdain but inevitably attract, Bevanite voices rang out with demands for censure against T.U.C. members who accept posts in the Conservative Churchill government, for condemnation of U.S. cold war policy, for criticism of the West's support of the anti-Soviet rebels in Berlin. Methodically the lumbering majority voted them down...
