A Non-Verbal Symbol For Our Cause

[Magda Hassan]

Seamus Coogan sez: "But he [Churchill] was really nothing more than a tory asshole who got the sack after the war."

Interesting, if not adaptive, use of the word "tory" --no? Can't quite get my head around that connotation. However, judging from your
context, the same could be said of Nikita Khrushchev shortly following JFK's demise. Of course, Stalin believed that Churchill was part
of a much larger "presence" of power, much like Prouty told me was the case with Averell Harriman.

Men of means... by no means, [yet, somehow] Kings of the Road. Indeed. True of Churchill, not at all of Harriman.

As for Mr. Prior's petty little project. Sorry to say, but if my daughter had a similar pursuit when she was 10 years old (but not a day older)
I'd have forgiven her folly. After that...not so much.

I think Greg is referring to the sacking part and not the Tory part with regards to Krushchev and Churchill. It is a mistake to use Churchill as a symbol of unity. He is not loved or remembered fondly in most places due to his wanton disregard for human lives other than those of his own class.
