...mixed with cheers. If their favorites had to go down, how better than at the hands of Bobby Hull? For the sight of Robert Marvin Hull, 29, leaning into a hockey puck is one of the true spectacles of sport-like watching Mickey Mantle clear the roof, or Wilt Chamberlain flick in a basket, or Bart Starr throw that beautiful bomb.

The Anglo-American conflict was over the grand question of what shape Europe would assume after the ultimate victory. Macmillan had seen the Poles left to defeat and noted Chamberlain's indifferent impotence with contempt and pity. Then, in mid-1944, he saw decisions made that reflected Franklin Roosevelt's obsessive desire to please Stalin and his "almost pathological suspicions" of British foreign policy, "especially in the Balkans...
