I want to join those today who have Winston Churchill in our thoughts and prayers on the 50th anniversary of his death. Winston's life and times are celebrated in my new book WHEN LIONS ROAR: The Churchills and the Kennedys." Whatever his flaws -- and I have a few new ones in my book, especially the liquor deal with Joe Kennedy -- Churchill's overall greatness endures. He speaks to human freedom, the power of the written word, and our need to resist tyranny in any form. There is no more apt message for today.
