This arithmetic clearly showed the bill's sponsors that, of the 70-odd Senators whose votes had been counted on to pass it, a respectable majority of Democrats were glad for a chance to kill it without openly voting against it.

Thousands of London's Irishmen and Irishwomen packed the pavement before the black door of No. 10. The rousing strains of southern Ireland's republican anthem, A Soldier's Song, swelled from the lusty throats. Staid civil servants in black jackets and striped trousers poked their heads out Whitehall's windows. Suddenly the singing ceased. "Up Dev!'' roared the crowds. "A republic-no less!"
