Steve handed me a copy of his latest (when it comes to writing, is he man or machine???), the long...

Britain's Independent has an interesting article on a new book on Oliver Cromwell -- in my view the greatest Englishman who ever lived, and whose portrait, alongside that of Luther and the Protector's son-in-law, Henry Ireton, hang on the Great Wall of the Regicides in the Dean's office at...
