...winner was Sir Edgar Whitehead, the sober, pipe-puffing fiscal expert and onetime Central African Federation minister to Washington, who had succeeded Todd both as Prime Minister and as head of the Southern Rhodesian division of the United Federal Party. Though considered less impulsive on racial partnership than Todd, Sir Edgar, for all his moderation, barely won. Coming up fast on the right of Southern Rhodesia politics is the white supremacy Dominion Party, which until February had only four seats out of 30 in Parliament. Last week the Dominion Party actually led the popular vote...

...Todd's successor the party picked Sir Edgar Whitehead, 53, the Federation's Minister in Washington, an Oxford-educated moderate whom no one had tarred with the label of "too liberal." Since Whitehead was not a Member of Parliament and could serve only four months as Prime Minister without being elected an M.P., the party shopped around for a safe seat, picked Hillside, a suburb in Southern Rhodesia's second city of Bulawayo...

...Both Whitehead and his opponent of the white-supremacy Dominion Party-Jack Pain, a bluff and genial Bulawayo accountant and city council member-left no doubt that they wanted to maintain the white man's unfettered rule over the blacks, who outnumbered them 13 to 1 in Southern Rhodesia. But White Supremacist Pain argued in the campaign that the United Federal Party, even with Todd gone, was pushing partnership "too far and too fast." Betting odds favored Whitehead 4 to 1, but when the votes of Hillside were tallied last week, the result was: Pain, 691; Prime Minister Whitehead...

...highly readable and enjoyable book, simply because it relates the life of an extraordinary contemporary who has constantly been in the thick of things, intellectual and political, for the past 87 years. There are personal glimpses of such luminaries as G. E. Moore, Wittgenstein, Shaw, Keynes, Santayana, Whitehead, H. G. Wells, the Trevelyans, the Webbs, and the sessions of the Bloomsbury Group. There are also the various views of Harvard as it has changed over the half-century during which Russell has visited it. When Russell taught symbolic logic here in 1914, for instance he seemed to find his students...

...sensitive to charges of sensationalism that have been made against the FBI. Perhaps on this ground, he omitted all reference to the Hiss case, on which 263 agents of his bureau were engaged, although the chapter on "Espionage and Sabotage" would seem to call for it (Don Whitehead's The FBI Story, which Hoover underwrote, dealt with the case in some detail). Hoover's conclusion is a convincingly humble plea for Americans, particularly intellectuals, to restate the faith of their fathers. He does not mention the plain fact that a great many of these intellectuals have wanted...
