...genius was that he knew how to hector. "He turned out words and phrases in tumultuous torrent and inexhaustible abundance - inspiring, exhorting, moving, persuading, cajoling, thundering, bullying, abusing and enraging," writes Cannadine. Churchill's collected speeches run to 4 million words, including the great phrases "blood, toil, tears and sweat" and "their finest hour." His off-the-cuff gems were well-rehearsed, but they rallied Britain in its darkest hour...

The ovens were heated to more than 200 degrees Celsius, and, as I dodged the racks of rising breads, I quickly began to sweat. Paolo called me over to smell the sourdough sponge (the mixture which gives the bread its flavor) that’s been growing for years. “Not very sour, though,” he said. “The people here in Cambridge don’t like...
