Advance Of Time Did To Him What No Dictator Ever Could
London AP Sir Winston Churchill resigned as Britain’s prime minister on April 5 1955 at age 81 after years of waning strength. He bowed to medical and family urging and to Conservative party pressure for a younger head. Despite strokes in 1951 and 1953 he fought back to lead debates and defend policy, then accepted retirement with public gratitude rather than mourning.
