| William Manchester
Abruptly the poker of memory stirs the ashes of recollection and uncovers a forgotten ember, still smoldering down there, still hot, still glowing, still red as red. Actors who have tried to play Churchill and MacArthur have failed abysmally because each of those men was a great actor playing himself. An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome. He was a great thundering paradox of a man. I wondered vaguely if this was when it would end, whether I would pull up tonight's darkness like a quilt and be dead and at peace evermore. It would be inaccurate to say that Churchill and I conversed. Like Gladstone speaking to Victoria, he addressed me as though I were a one-man House of Commons. It was superb. The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses. |
