We toured England this summer. The people are still wonderful. However,along class and political lines they are more divided than us.

Obama should be strapped into a chair, Clockwork Orange style, and made to watch this movie over and over and over...

I am reading Churchill’s Magnum Opus 6 volume memiors of WWII.

I am currently reading Churchill's massive biography of his ancestor, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. I had read the abridged version about 10 years ago (complete waste of time). The University of Chicago Press version I am reading now is the uncut version.

It is interesting that Churchill admired Macauley and quoted him often and yet wrote the Marlborough biography largely to refute Macauley's portrayal of Marlborough in his The History of England from the Accession of James II.

You must read his four volume set of "History of the English Speaking Peoples." I have read it four times. It is fascinating that a small, isolated island could produce a culture that had such a impact on the entire world.

I didn’t think he sent it back to England, but did have it removed from the peoples house, the White House, and put into storage. I also thought Pres. Trump returned it to the White House.

Ok, after a bit of Google-Fu, it seems that there are two busts of Sir Churchill. One loaned to President Bush, and was returned to the British when Pres. Obama took office. However, Pres. Trump has asked for it back, to display both of the busts.

Thanks for your recommendation. I hope to garner the strength to read those works after these (current) massive works.
