Profile
Winston Churchill’s response to Hitler's challenge brought him to lead a national coalition in 1940, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor altered his whole prospect of the war. He went at once to Washington, D.C., and with Roosevelt shaped the subsequently successful Allied strategy in WWII. After the breakdown of the alliance, he then alerted the West to the expansionist threat of the USSR.

Famous Lefties
View groupLeft-handed people are a rare breed—only 10 percent of the general population is a lefty. There isn't a definite scientific explanation of why people are left-handed, and although it might be an inconvenience for some, it's actually an advantage in sports. Legendary lefty athletes include baseball player Babe Ruth and basketball star Larry Bird. They're in good company with a wide variety of famous faces from President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey to composer Wolfgang Mozart and entrepreneur Bill Gates.
