By HARRY V. JAFFA
The policy of containment of Communism—now on the eve of victory—had its origin in Churchill’s speech at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, in 1946. Known in history as the "Iron Curtain speech," it was entitled by Churchill “The Sinews of Peace.” Churchill was then condemned for it as a war-monger.We can see now, after may long, weary years, that his own speech title is triumphantly vindicated.

“Churchill, Roosevelt and Company: Studies in Character and Statecraft” – by Lewis E. Lehrman

By WILLIAM JOHN SHEPHERD
Lehrman examines Churchill and Roosevelt through the teams they assembled: advisers, political officials and military leaders who worked for victory even as they argued over war strategy. His is not a history of the war, but an evaluation of people, decisions and events, a victory followed by a lost peace and decades of Cold War. A useful chronology and extensive endnotes, bibliography, and index are complemented by portrait photographs used as chapter headings, and two key appendices: a 1940 Roosevelt fireside chat, and Churchill’s victory speech in 1945.

Churchill’s “Vast Gaps” of Knowledge

Jan

By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH
Churchill, it appears, took the view that the mind is not infinitely expandable. Time and again, he exhibited vast gaps in economic and financial knowledge. His salvation was that he studied when he had to, and kept close knowledgeable friends to fill in the gaps. When it mattered, he sought out what he needed to know.

Why does the United States honor Winston Churchill on April 9? Why not, for example, May 10? That was the day in 1940 when, with liberty in retreat, he became Britain’s prime minister, sure that he knew a good deal about it all, certain he would not fail, impatient for the morning. But April 9 has its own significance for Americans. That was the day, in 1963, when President Kennedy proclaimed Sir Winston an honorary citizen of the United States.
