I finally got around to reading the article and I must say I enjoyed it very much. I don't know too much about Mr. Churchill but it is quite interesting the way he valued the lives of such small creatures while the fate of so many lives were affected by his decisions. Quite amazing stuff.

That is a very informative website as well. I was rummaging through his many quotes and I stumbled across one of his that I have loved for quite some time:

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."

WHAT A COMEBACK!
