A virgin white elephant.  I love it!  Makes me even prouder than ever of my 
homeland, that we can produce such pachydermatous police powers.

She was very much of the "velvet glove" school.  Whenever she had suspicions of 
one of her subjects, she would do him the honor of visiting him.  The cost of 
housing, feeding and entertaining Queen Bess and her entourage would drive the 
guy almost to bankruptcy.  After a while, she didn't even have to go visit - 
just the suggestion that she might would be enough to bring the subject into 
line.  Now that's some sophistication in the dictatorship business!

Jonathan,

 

“She ran history's most successful police state.”

 

A strong statement indeed.  I hope ‘Dear Leader’ in NK doesn’t think you are 
denigrating his accomplishments.  Or that the NSA doesn’t feel slighted.  I 
hear Stalin sobbing in his tomb.

 

Cheers :),

 

Dave

I would hope that Elizabeth I would not be relevant.  She ran history's most 
successful police state.  "The spacious days of good Queen Bess" were extremely 
repressive - and she got people to love it.

A challenging question, Dave. But start with the attached. Somehow I don't see 
Gladstone, Walpole or Bess making the cut.

[ChurchillChat] Re: Butterfly update

2016-09-18 Thread Richard M. Langworth 
David,
Thanks for info. I also realized that the interiors in "Churchill's Secret" 
were shot at a studio, not Chartwell, so the box of mounted butterflies was 
a prop.

Hugh Newman, son of L.W. Newman, owner of the "butterfly farm" which 
supplied Churchill after the war, wrote an amusing piece on his father's 
encounters with WSC (*Finest Hour* 89) which is posted 
online: http://bit.ly/2cVPGca
