There is a well-known story about the famous British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill (丘吉爾首相), who read in a paper that Mr. Berlin was in London, so he asked his assistant to invite the great man to lunch. Over lunch, Mr. Churchill asked question after question. Which party would win the next American election (選舉)? Who would be the next president of the USA? What were the papers saying? What did Mr. Berlin think of party politics in Britain? Which country had the better political system (系統(tǒng)), Britain or America? Whose system did Mr. Berlin prefer?
