American writer Winston Churchill, 75, was stricken with a fatal heart attack two days after arriving in Winter Park, Fla., from his home in Cornish. His body will be sent to Cornish for funeral services and burial. Mr. Churchill’s latest novel, “The Uncharted Way,” was published about two years ago. Early in his career, he was frequently confused with the British statesman of the same name. When the Englishman wrote to the American years ago suggesting that one of them make a change in his name, the American answered approving the suggestion, but added as the Englishman was the younger (by three years) it was incumbent on him to make the change. The argument was accepted and the Englishman thereafter signed himself as Winston S. Churchill. Each gave a dinner in honor of the other in the host’s country.
