Unknown News
The biggest news of last week--perhaps the biggest news of the year or of all World War II--took place inside the White House. But that news was destined to stay in there for some time. What problems Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt had to resolve, what plans they had to make, were known facts (see p. 19). But other things were secret.
After the Prime Minister and the President had been glimpsed by photographers driving from the railroad station to the White House, there was no one at hand to report:
>How late Churchill and Roosevelt sat up chortling at each other's tales.
>Whose anecdotal eloquence came out on top.
>How many cigar ashes cascaded down Winnie's waistcoat and whiskey & sodas down his throat.
>Least of all, what specific decisions they finally agreed on about their problems and their plans.
These last were proper military secrets. Americans would have to guess at them for a time. So would the Axis.
