On what would have been his 141st birthday, a vast archive of letters written by Winston Churchill, including correspondences with other world leaders and a copy he annotated of his powerful “finest hour” speech at the height of the Second World War, has been recognised by the United Nations. Curators at Cambridge University’s Churchill College say the bulk of the “priceless” collection reflects Churchill’s stand against Adolf Hitler and fascism. The papers, which range from an early letter to his mother to the speech which coined the term “iron curtain”, were passed to the college by his widow, Clementine, in 1969. http://bit.ly/1OyuFir http://bit.ly/1OyuFir+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
