...George was a Prime Minister without a party." His own Liberal Party was split into warring factions. Severe unemployment at home and violent disagreements over foreign policy had frayed the Liberals' uneasy coalition with the Conservatives. "The Big Beast of the Forest," as his ministers called the fiery Welshman, could even then have broken off the coalition, reunited the Liberals in opposition, and almost certainly returned to office within a few years. But Lloyd George was incapable of surrendering power. "He did not seem to care which way he traveled," writes Beaverbrook, "providing he was in the driver...
Cudlipp, a working-class Welshman who at 25 became editor of the Sunday Pictorial, denies that sex looms large in the overhauled paper.

He meant his Britannia to be looking a little aghast toward America, not Europe. "We're not anti-American in this country, and we understand the breakaway of the American Revolution, but when...
...founder, lifelong director and guiding spirit of the Theatre Guild, which turned repertory theater into a high art in the U.S., brought Eugene O'Neill and George Bernard Shaw to the Broadway stage and serious drama to other major U.S. cities; of a heart attack; in Manhattan. A Welshman who emigrated to the U.S. at 21, Langner organized the Theatre Guild in 1918 and saw it grow into a vast commercial success in the '40s and '50s with its own radio shows and scores of Broad way productions. A sometime playwright himself, Langner built the Westport (Conn...
