...such unpleasant and often intangible stuff is fateful political decision made. This week, when Britain's Labor Party meets in its Scarborough conference, it faces a close and bitter division on the most urgent such decision before the West-the rearming of Germany. A Labor delegate, an advocate of German rearmament fighting fierce rank-and-file opposition, said on the eve of the conference: "Senator McCarthy may well decide this vote. All he stands for-all his identification with American policy in the eyes of average people-will force something between 500,000 and 1,000,000 votes...

A huge crowd was waiting to meet him at the station. Churchill left his wife in the car sent to meet him, and on foot slogged along happily in the crowd's midst for half a mile. "What was it they promised if a Conservative government was elected?" he asked his fellow Tories. "War. Churchill the warmonger would plunge us into war. Well...
