...Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons in 1900-when Victoria was still Queen and Gladstone had been gone only five years. Almost immediately he became one of its storm centers. His views were often heretic, often changed-and often right. In his maiden speech, he bolted Tory doctrine to argue-ironically-against trying to match the power of "the clanking military empires of the European continent." Shortly afterward he bolted the Conservative Party itself, joined David Lloyd George's Liberals, only to return 20 years later, completely unabashed: "Anybody can rat, but it takes a certain...
With his 90th birthday only four months away, Sir Winston Churchill doesn't do much stepping out any more, but prefers to sit in the garden of his London home, 28 Hyde Park Gate. Thus, when his 23-year-old journalist grandson and namesake married Minnie d'Erlanger, 24, in a London registry office last week (he is an Anglican, she a Roman Catholic), Sir Winston sent Lady Clem to the ceremony alone. But the bridal party dropped round afterward to raise a toast with the grand old man, whom they found in the company of his plump...

...knew my husband that the returned verdict was guilty of murder in the first degree instead of not guilty by reason of insanity. As members of his family, we did not expect the law to excuse his crimes, but to treat the condition that made him commit them. Winston Moseley for his 28 years has been quiet, shy and alone. He has been a devoted husband and father; then, it seemed, something snapped psychologically and made him commit antisocial acts. His behavior was called an "irresistible impulse" by psychiatrists, who explained that such people are unable to control themselves. This...
Mary Caroline d'Erlanger, 24, daughter of BOAC's late chief, Sir Gerard d'Erlanger, prefers the nickname Minnie. Her fiancé, Winston Spencer Churchill, 23, on the other hand, strenuously resists Winnie, and as anyone who has tangled with his grandfather can testify, Churchills are stubborn. Randolph's Oxford-educated son has other family traits: 1) a fondness for travel and journalism that last year sent him on a four-month tour of 40 African and Middle Eastern countries, will result in a book, First Journey, due in the U.S. in January, 2) freckles...
