Douglas- Home Was Chosen: In July 1962, Macmillan responded to his party's poor performance in by-elections and the polls by executing a cabinet reshuffle, including dismissal of the chancellor of the exchequer, Sel-wyn Lloyd. But criticism did not abate. Macmillan resigned, on health grounds, in October 1963, but the maneuverings and hostilities revealed before Sir Alec Douglas- home was chosenHome was chosen as his successor further repelled the public and shook their confidence.
The rift among the Democrats deepened in 1858, when Douglas debated Abraham Lincoln, the Republican contender for Douglas' Senate seat. The Republicans found a new leader in Lincoln, who balanced his moral indignation and reform zeal with fundamental conservatism, while Southern Democrats were further alienated by Douglas' "Freeport Doctrine." Douglas declared that it mattered not what the Supreme Court said about slave property in the territories because "slavery cannot exist a day . . . unless it ^ is supported by local police regulations."
The relation between intelligence and selection-rejection is not clear. Jennings found little difference between the IQ's of the most chosen and the least chosen of the four hundred girls whom she studied at the New York Training School for Girls (75, 1950). Grossmann and Wrighter (55, 1948) obtained from questionnaires answered by 117 sixth-grade children the names of the children they liked and did not like to sit near, walk home from school with, play with, have as a best friend, and elect as a class officer. |
