Winston Churchill, Alliance of English-Speaking People, March 5, 1946. In early 1946, both Stalin and the former prime minister of Great Britain clarified their positions on the Cold War. To confront the iron curtain that the Soviet Union had drawn across Europe, Churchill suggested, the United States should ally with the English-speaking peoples of the British Commonwealth and Empire to challenge the power of the Russian communists in eastern Europe.

On the 150th anniversary of his birth, we asked the opinions of twelve leading authorities: What do you consider the most profound passage Winston Churchill wrote or said? The great war speeches, we suggested, were too obvious. What did he say that especially rings true? What applies to all peoples and all times? We asked each contributor for up to 300 words; one gave us just six. No two selections were alike, although two came from the same speech.

In a political season charged with discussion of the abortion issue, an emerging divide is developing between the two parties that finds one side loyal to abortion above all else, and another, representing the views of most Americans, looking for less abortion.

Blue Jerusalem: British Conservatism, Winston Churchill, and the Second World War by Kit KowolThe Second World War was a “People’s War” during which Labour prepared the great reforming measures it would implement after 1945, while the Conservatives were intellectually moribund and devoted no thought to the policies needed once the war had been won. This, according to Kit Kowol, is the received, but mistaken, view of the period 1940-45, and about that error he is probably correct.

There was very little doubt that A. Lange & Söhne would do something big for the 25th Anniversary of the Datograph. This year, 2024, is a year of big anniversaries for the brand. Twenty-five years of the Datograph, 30 years of the restarted brand (and the Lange 1), and the 100th birthday of the late Walter Lange – all of these are worth celebrating. But, as someone senior at the brand told me, the 25th Anniversary was "bigger than 30," and the Datograph was the obvious choice.
