Discussione:Winston Churchill: differenze tra le versioni

1) In un articolo poi riunito con altri nella seconda edizione del suo libro "Great Contemporaries" (1938), Churchill scrive: "For in truth Roosevelt is an explorer who has embarked on a voyage as uncertain as that of Columbus, and upon a quest which might conceivably be as important as the discovery of the New World. In those old days it was the gulf of oceans with their unknown perils and vicissitudes. Now in the modern worls, just a mysterious and forbidding as the stormy waters of the Atlantic is the gulf between the produces, with the limitless powers of science at his command, and the consumer, with legitimate appetites which will never be satiated."

2) Secondo il politico americano Bernard Baruch, il concetto gli sarebbe stato esposto in forma di battuta da alcuni Tories in presenza di Churchill: "At one dinner he gave for me in London, a number of Tories were present who disliked Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. One gentleman decided to amuse the company by asking me the riddle—why were Roosevelt and Columbus alike? His answer was that, like Columbus, Roosevelt did not know where he was going or where he was when he got there, or where he had been when he got back.▼
