A lot of information today.

Here is some I just noticed. I have read quite a bit lately about Anthony Eden in Gathering Storm, but Churchill left this important bit out:

The London correspondent of the Lokal-Anzeiger writes that "Anthony Eden, darling of America's film world and most kissable idol of American flappers and elderly matrons, has once more become an ascending star on England's political stage."

Who knew there were still flappers in 1938? Maybe it should read "American matrons and elderly flappers." Anyway, I should think with the large staff of researchers Churchill had helping him with his memoirs one of them would have realized the importance of the "most kissable" angle.

elderly flappers

Aren't they all at that point?
