List of great insults. It may be apocryphal, but I've always loved the exchange between Lady Astor and Winston Churchill: "Lady Astor: 'Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink.' Churchill: 'Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it.'" (via dooce)
The memoirs of Winston Churchill's bodyguard have been recently discovered. "Why, Thompson, did they allow the president [FDR], almost dying on his feet, to be there? All Europe will suffer from the decisions made at Yalta."
