...quite a week for Nye Bevan. He was much too shrewd to try now to wrest party control from Attlee, Morrison & Co.: why split the party when things are going his way? "One wave may shudder the cliff," explained a Bevan strategist, "but it's the steady tide that wears it away...
Originally, Bob Taft did not intend to walk into this buzz saw. But that intention led to the inevitable accusation that he was afraid to stand up against Ike. Last month, Taft Strategist John D. M. Hamilton led a task force to New Hampshire to look things over, and announced "surprising and encouraging results." Taftmen noted with pleasure that March 11 is the annual town-meeting day, on which residents gather at churches, schools and town halls to discuss town business.

In Washington, Pennsylvania's Big Jim Duff, straw boss of the Eisenhower forces, grabbed the telephone to talk to Ike Strategist Henry Cabot Lodge in Beverly, Mass. A transatlantic telephone call crackled through to Ike's headquarters in Paris. Then Duff's office issued a one-sentence statement in Lodge's name: "I can assert authoritatively that nothing happened at the conference between Eisenhower and Stassen to justify any inference whatever that Eisenhower would...
