Cultural Offering didn't just read Cita Stelzer's Dinner with Churchill, he devoured it:
Ultimately, what comes from this book is a portrait of the very human side of a great statesman. An animal lover who loved meat. A cigar smoker who loved to share his enthusiasm freely. A great orator who was a great conversationalist. And a great man who participated in the great experience of daily life with every bit of the exuberance he displayed in the consumption of public life. We need these stories about great people. We live in an odd world today where the public prescriptions for a good life are often mismatched with the need to live life. We encourage tasteless chicken breasts on every plate when a little meat off the bone might do us some good.

If I'm ever on a job interview with you all I will do is mention how much I admire Churchhill :)
Dan,
True. Of course, you may also add Washington, Lincoln, Thatcher, and De Gaulle.
