Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover were never accused of bribery-by-belly when they hauled hollow-eyed politicians out of bed to attend early breakfasts at the White House and listen to Presidential persuasion. But Britain took the Churchill charge seriously. Grave under his wig, Speaker the Rt. Hon. Captain Edward Algernon Fitzroy allowed the resolution to be passed, without vote, to the Committee on Privilege for investigation...
