...dispatch box and gave me a public affront." Bevan had also publicly chided his party leaders for being absent from the House of Commons during one of his speeches. "That," said Attlee, "was unpardonable." Attlee's windup revealed his own misgivings over his handling of the Bevan revolt. "I have tried and failed to get unity ... I have been abused for not taking action, for weakness and dithering." Now he was taking action. He demanded the highest penalty: "Withdrawal of the whip," i.e., releasing Nye from party discipline...
Ivory v. Red Brick. The gulf between the ivory-tower and red-brick schools of psychiatry over the new drugs has significance far beyond the profession. On its resolution depends the full and effective use of important new psychiatric tools. Essentially the trouble goes back to the Freudian revolt against the 19th century's physiological approach to mental illness. Freud admitted that the usefulness of his method was virtually limited to the neuroses and could not yet reach the psyhoses. Experience has shown that it takes countless hours of the most grueling work by a topnotch psychotherapist to bring...
...Dark Is Light Enough finds Christopher Fry occupied with the soberer side of life-or, at any rate, of language.

West Virginia's Bailey led off: "Mr. Speaker, once again the duly elected members of the House find themselves under a threat of an undemocratic and un-American gag-rule procedure." The House seats began to fill up. Republican Leader Joe Martin slouched back in his place, a forefinger pushed up on his temple. Beside...
...Inadmissible . . ." Betancourt became President, taking Major Carlos Delgado Chalbaud, who had played a key role in the army revolt, as his War Minister. Under Betancourt, A.D. wrote a constitution that guaranteed every civil right the party could think of. A.D. encouraged unions. It gave Venezuela its first free and universal presidential election, with the party's candidate, Novelist (Doña Barbara) Rómulo Gallegos, winning three to one. Most important, A.D. worked out and ratified the historic 50-50 contract with the oil companies-the golden rule that was later to benefit no one more than...
