John K Clark *During the second world war the novelist Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited) was a commando in Yugoslavia with Winston Churchill's son Randolph. During a lull in the fighting Waugh happened to hear him say that he'd never read the Bible, so Waugh, who was very religious, said he'd give Randolph 10 pounds if he read it cover to cove.
