When Lady Churchill and his doctors vetoed the inspiration, Britain's most eminent citizen took it quite well, spent most of the day in bed accepting personal greetings from friends, children and grandchildren, and shoveling through the blizzard of congratulations that fell upon the threshold of his London town house in Hyde Park Gate. At the family luncheon table, Sir Winston presided over a mighty repast of oysters, turtle soup, roast pheasant, champagne and all the trimmings, plus an 85-lb. birthday cake doused with his favorite brandy...

...sight of 500 quills which have been specially collected for me from geese stripped alive. All this gives me an extraordinary desire to write." Anthony Rhodes, sometime lecturer in English literature at Geneva University, and a London Dally Telegraph correspondent in Eastern Europe, has fought his way through the blizzard of goose feathers to do a cool, curious biography...
