Simon,

A fine tribute it is. I just read the obituary in the Financial Times (I 
am as much behind on newspaper reading as I am on PAW posting, having 
just come back from a 3-week trip). I think your picture is just 
perfect, except for the bright spot over the right eye.

By coincidence, I am currently reading Lord Jenkins' massive Churchill 
biography, a whopper of a book in every sense.

May he rest in peace indeed. He was one of the giants of 20th century 
statemanship.

Nathan
