Death of a Statesman
On this day, in 1965, Winston Churchill died, after a severe stroke. I am inappropriately delighted to discover that the pre-eminent neurologist who treated him in the immediate aftermath was none other than Dr Brain. But then I had a schoolfriend whose father was, I believe, a urologist named Dr Dick. It all goes to show something, though I don't know what.

It's called nominative determinism and was popularised by new scientist.
