...restless SCLC convention that Angela Davis addressed in August, one devoid of those softening luxuries that had made most previous conventions more noteworthy for their cuisine than for their resolutions. In fact, there was even some grumbling this year about the menu at the usually lavish annual banquet. Instead of feasting upon healthy portions of some exquisite gourmet's delight, delegates were served a spare repas of turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, green peas and rice pudding.

They reach a perfect unity as they side by side gazing out to sea, lonely misfits at a holiday resort, so attuned that even their kimonos match...
...played faultlessly, with Ian Holm as editor of the Times and Anthony Hopkins as Lloyd George especially engaging. Anne Bancroft, who ought to have been perfect as Lady Randolph, is thwarted largely by a part that asks her only to be coquettish or long-suffering. Young Winston suffocates her restless dynamism, just as it does the true power and substance of Churchill's early life...
