The Winston Churchill quote about being drunk and ugly in the morning was directed at Bessie Braddock and not Lady Astor as quoted in your otherwise interesting article. Bessie Braddock was a Liverpool MP and battleing socialist campaigner, a statue of her was recently unvieled in her home city.

Just to say something more about Marie-Antoinette... Brioche is actually a kind of bread, but a bread made with milk instead of water, and... butter! So this is a bread which have a very good taste (far better than simple bread, that's why I suppose it was translated by "cake" instead), and by these times of French revolution it was too much worthy for 95% of french people... Let's make some brioche someday, c'est un délice pour les papilles! ;-)

The JFK magic bullet is not in pristine condition. It is mashed up pretty good. There are pictures. This is a lie Stone made up along with where and how it was discovered. The wounds from the bullet, using the Zapruder film, draws a straight line back to Oswalds window. You can question Oswalds motivation and whether he worked with other people, but he was the only shooter. This really isn't a myth to anyone who looks at the real evidence and doesn't believe everything in Stone's movie. Witnesses strange deaths are true though. That part is crazy, I'll give you that. President of the Continental Congress is not the President of the United States.
