Interviews by Robin Woods with Dan MacArthur, A. Davidson Dunton and John Bird, for CHURCHILL IN AMERICA (INTERVIEWS). Dan MacArthur talks on Churchill's literary gifts - of his gift for metaphors, as shown at a reporter's conference, after the 2nd Quebec Conference, and apparently being checked, by Mrs. Churchill, by a tap on the knee. Davidson Dunton was in charge of press coverage for the Quebec Conference. He tells how he had to make arrangements without telling anybody the reasons. Dunton describes Churchill's speech dictating techniques; a conference held on the "deck" of the citadel at the end of the 2nd conference. John Bird, Ottawa correspondent for the Star, met Churchill when he (Bird) was a school boy. He tells of times when Churchill "impinged" on him: a party where someone said: "This was won on the playing fields of Harrow". Churchill beams. A press conference at which the correspondents were "against" him, and of Churchill's embarrassing Eden. Churchill's remarks when he was late at a press conference in a room where the clock had stopped - he apologized, and then said: "But I see that with our Canadian courtesy you have managed to put me in the right". Churchill's acceptance speech at last election at Woodford: "He looked like a heroic snowman melting in the sun". John Bird's sister, Maria, owns Chartwell Cottage. He tells of messages carried by the Char woman, about a kitten, from Chartwell House to Chartwell cottage. Churchill wanted the marmalade kitten. Mrs. Churchill said: "No more pets". New message: May Mr. Churchill borrow the kitten to play with? <30mn>
