[PW] Re: ? Winston Churchill Quotation

[Sue Kamm]

You might try Richard Langworth, editor, Finest Hour (a publication of the Churchill Center):  malakand at langworth.name.  He can provide information about quotes from Winston Churchill, and may be able to confirm whether the quote is from Lord Randolph Churchill (Winston's father).
