Next week Churchill leaves for the ten-nation European Council at Strasbourg-the first step toward forming a European Parliament, one of Churchill's pet projects. The day he checks out of the Grand Hotel, an old parliamentary enemy, Minister of Health Aneurin Bevan, is scheduled to arrive. Bevan's party has reserved six rooms at the Grand...
