Arabella had just begun dishing out beef and wine stew, pizza, quiche Lorraine and salad to her squatter clientele at $1.50 a plate when the council decided to give her the heave-ho. Arabella protests that she pays the council $16 a week in property taxes and says she obtained the council's informal consent for her project. The council denies it. “This is one place where I have been accepted and not thought of as a Churchill,” says the beleaguered restaurateur. As for grandfather Winston and Nutshell, she says, “I think he would have liked it.”

3. Why was the Reykjavik summit so special?
Today, on the 10th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s passing, we can now realize his exceptional leadership and how Reykjavik was his “finest hour.”
Indeed, his son Michael has said that “you'll get insights into my dad -- his negotiating skills, his sheer grit, his leadership skills -- in a new way. I urge you all to read the book, ‘Reagan at Reykjavik’ soon. I know you will enjoy the book and learn from it, as I have.”
What made Reykjavik special were three elements. First, it was a real drama -- something right out of an Agatha Christie thriller, where two vivid characters meet over a weekend, on a desolate and windswept island, in a reputedly-haunted house with rain lashing against its windowpanes, where they experience the most amazing things.
