Nehru was using the threat of resignation to beat down the moderates and right-wingers inside his Cabinet and fix India on a leftward course: more socialism at home, more flirting with Communism abroad. "Gandhi often renounced active membership in the Congress Party when he had difficulties," recalled the Free Press Journal of Bombay.

So far Bender has failed to whistle up even a mild breeze of enthusiasm. In Republican state headquarters, where some 60 paid employees bustled about two years ago, a bare 20 were on duty last week.
