A really complicated life!
There is a passage in the obituary which I do not understand :
"When Randolph Churchill died in 1968, Churchill wanted to take on the
biography of Sir Winston that his father had begun. But Lord Hartwell,
proprietor of the Telegraph, with whom the decision lay, engaged the
academic Martin Gilbert, who went on to produce a classic. "
Why should the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph have a say on Randolph
Churchill's successor for the Official Biography? From where did he derive
this (heavy) privilege?
Best wishes to all,
Antoine Capet,
Rouen (France)
