Happy Anniversary

Good times

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the start of theTehran Conference (read more about it at that link), the first meeting involving Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. (Nov. 28 - Dec. 3, 1943, during WWII.)

Why were the three of them, when together, always photographed sitting down? Word has it that it's because a) Stalin was short and didn't want to appear small compared to the other two guys, b) FDR was crippled from polio and rarely stood, and c) Churchill was a drunk. Good times, indeed. And, perhaps a fitting metaphor for the strange alliance that it was.
