Previous IQs: Was your country home Chartwell? - [Winston Churchill](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/chartwell) Were you that person’s spouse? - Clementine Churchill Were you their insufferable eldest son? - Randolph Churchill - an arrogant jerk, by all accounts. When he had an operation to have a growth removed, and testing confirmed it was non-malignant, a friend joked, “Leave it to modern science to find the one non-malignant part of Randolph, and remove it!” DQs: Considered a beauty? Associated with NYC? One DQ reserved. ---
