First Paragraph

Winston Churchill is 65. He has just been appointed Prime Minister, and I have become his doctor, not because he wanted one, but because certain members of the Cabinet, who realized how essential he has become, have decided that somebody ought to keep an eye on his health.

- From Churchill, Taken from the Diaries of Lord Moran

Unfair. Entice us and the damned thing can't be instantly downloaded for Saturday reading. What is this world coming to?

Kurt,

It is a marvelous book. Has its share of critics. Some people dispute whether Lord Moran really knew all that he wrote of and others saw the book as a violation of doctor-patient confidentiality.

I think the book is fascinating.
