Leaning heavily on a silver-knobbed walking stick, Sir Winston Churchill, 86, clumped slowly into the House of Commons for the first time since he broke a bone in his back last November. Churchill's entrance was met with Commons' warmest welcoming growl of "Hear-hear-hear-hear," enthusiastically led by the member whose speech he had interrupted, Opposition Leader Hugh Gaitskell. Beaming, Sir Winston plumped himself down on the government front bench for half an hour, but in keeping with the self-imposed silence he has maintained in Parliament since his resignation as Prime Minister...
