After the early-July rain, weeks went by without any rain at all in Tulsa. Then the rain man called Gordon once again, and they settled on a three-day span.

Wilson, who is grimly aware of the damage dealt Labor by a crippling London transport strike before the 1959 election, attempted repeatedly last week to make the railwaymen call off their unpopular walkout, but made little headway.
