Giuliani associates himself with Churchill

LONDON -- Rudy Giuliani, the Republican front-runner for president, made the rounds here Wednesday as though he were already the head of state.

....

During this appearance on the international stage, he was intent on associating himself with two of the most powerful Britons ever to play on it: Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

The entertainment for the luncheon was billed as a conversation between Giuliani and Celia Sandys, Churchill's granddaughter. As chats go, it was stilted, but there was some give and take: Giuliani offered voluminous praise for Churchill's resolute, defiant leadership during World War II, and graciously accepted as Sandys repeatedly likened him to the great man.

....

Giuliani, as expected, spoke at length about 9/11 and his guidance of New York through its darkest hour. That day, he said, as he has before, he looked to Churchill for inspiration. He prepared for Sept. 12, 2001, by forgoing sleep to read Churchill's biography, he said.
