Firmer Ground. He went on manfully, but again and again Labor's uproarious barracking silenced him for painful seconds at a time. He waded through the unfamiliar marshes of economics, finally reached firmer ground when he turned to foreign policy. Staring coldly at Wilson, who wants to abandon Britain's independent deterrent, Sir Alec declared that he intends to make this a central issue of the campaign. Once Britain renounces nuclear arms, he warned, "We could never go back into this business. The government means to retain nuclear forces under our own control," adding that without them...
