...Minh, Charles de Gaulle or Ted Heath but to members of his own party. They were 60 or so dissident, left-wing Labor M.P.s who for months have been snapping at Wilson's policies.

If the rebels do not swing back in line, warned Wilson, he might just call new elections and bar them from running...

Playing alongside Gallagher up front were Bob Johnson, Barth Royer, and Bob Kanuth. Johnson flashed his usual densive wizardry, on one block he nearly jumped out of the IAB. Royer floated up his soft jumper for 15 big points. Grate had a fine and Gane Dressler added some pretty assists...
