Winston Churchill: Grey Hair

Toronto City Hall Dept: Asked by the Star to pose outdoors, the former executive vice-president of CBC English services initially seems to feign reluctance. He sheepishly complains the wind will mess with his thin grey hair and makes a half-hearted attempt for veto rights to pictures he deems unflattering, according to The Star. This is my Winston Churchill, he says, with hands on hips and puffed-out chest, a bony imitation of the British prime minister immortalized in bronze at Toronto City Hall and for a man who describes himself as difficult, arrogant and often insubordinate, Richard Stursberg is obliging, even playful, when posing for pictures to discuss his provocative new book on the CBC, The Tower of Babel . But when the camera starts clicking, the executive who made entertainment and ratings the mantra of his incendiary reign at the CBC hams it up. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
