I finished reading William Manchester's epic three volume bio of Churchill "The Last Lion" late last year. There has never been a political leader as well-rounded (and I don't mean his physical shape) as Churchill. He had his faults, but his pluses far outweighed his minuses.

Liberals can't resist taking jabs at conservative heroes. In this case it's like a liberal gnat attacking an elephant.

Didn’t know that William Manchester died in 2004. I read American Caesar; amazing how MacArthur led the peaceful occupation of Japan & gave them a new constitution.

Are there any greats among us any more, of the stature of Churchill? Any waiting in the wings, as he did?
