WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL was nursing a foul bout of bronchitis with cigar smoke, whiskey, and petulance. He was frowning now, a portrait in annoyance and white tie.
"Val Fleming's boy," he muttered. "Peter, is it?"
"Ian, Prime Minister. Peter's my brother."
"Ah, yes. Splendid chap. Commando. Read his book on Brazil."

"I didn't say I enjoyed it," Churchill barked. "Knew your father once upon a time. Excellent fellow. We shall not see his like again."
