Assuring Israel. Last week, breaking nearly a year's silence on world events, 81-year-old Sir Winston Churchill sought to assuage Israel's fears. Said he, with a flash of his old rhetoric: "If Israel is dissuaded from using the life force of their race to ward off the Egyptians until the Egyptians have learned to use the Russian weapons with which they have been supplied and the Egyptians then attack, it will become not only a matter of prudence but a measure of honor to make sure that they are not the losers by waiting...

...World. Before he had a real world to play with, Winston Churchill created the toy world of "Laurania" in which a "dictator" is overthrown by a liberal revolution; then, as happened often enough later, the liberals find that they have set sinister forces in motion. Before they are suppressed, Laurania is rent by explosions, duels, gunshot and high-flown mayhem, all set forth in an absurdly magnificent style...
