True but the Steelers lost to the Raiders so I think you have to slightly devalue the Bronco win, not to mention their coach looks lost. I think the Browns have a shot this weekend.

The quote is thought to be Churchill’s (but may be fictional) and in response to a remark made by Lady Astor or Bessie Braddock (a Socialist MP) that he was drunk, he referred to her as being ugly, not stupid, and that in the morning he would be sober and she would still be ugly. The quote is referred to in Andrew Roberts’ new book on Churchill, considered by many critics to be the best one volume biography about him.

Finished this earlier a few days ago. It's a remarkable book Ellis looks at the founders (Jefferson, Adams, Madison and Washington) on a particular issue and then discusses that issue from today's perspective.

The Broncos are not very good. They are getting shellacked at halftime by the 49ers.

Things are looking up for them. I can see them winning two or all of their remaining three games.

Thanks.

I would be concerned about spending time with a book whose writing is described as “workmanlike.”

I haven’t picked it up but their Booker Ervin release was very well received and the liner notes were written by Simon Spillett.

Also got my shipping notice. I just realized that I’d purchased from Tommy before via eBay and the service was always excellent.

No one can say for sure if he read the book but I’d be surprised if a Times reviewer hadn’t read the book he or she is reviewing.
