Churchill was in his element, mingling, pantomime and frolic, spilling wit like wine. He enumerated the party's successes and, like the headmaster of Harrow, distributed congratulations to his blushing middle-aged ministers. To each he made a play of peering along the rows to find the next recipient of his favors. He kept each one in suspense until his turn came...

Ship news reporters asked him what he thought of teen-age dating (he said, in the immaculate public-school accent he had learned at Britain's Harrow, that he didn't know anything about it) and whether he was going to get married (he had given the matter no thought). When he announced that he was a Dodgers fan, the newsmen cried incredulously: "Why?" "I understand," said Feisal politely, "that they are one of the more important teams." Through it all he veiled...
