Goodbye Winston Hello Stalin

I've finished one giant bio and started another. Finished is this one: The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone 1932-1940 by William Manchester Pub. Date: September 1989 and picked up Stalin: The First In-depth Biography, Based on Explosive New Documents from Russia's Secret Archives, by Edvard Radzinsky, 1997 It's a move into major darkness from the spark and light of life, but I'm not very deep into the Stalin book yet. I read so slowly these days, it's exasperating. I get uncomfortable and have to soon reassemble myself somewhere, and that's the end of the goddamn book for a while. One day's reading simply isn't very much. I wish it were, but it's not. In some senses, Churchill can be said to have saved the planet. Stalin had a nearly opposite effect. Yet, now that he's gone, he's nowhere near as Present as Churchill, though the Englishman's just as dead!
