(Out of her strength, she helped transform a social dilett...)
Out of her strength, she helped transform a social dilettante husband into one of the most important men in the British Empire; out of her love and ambition, she helped shape her son Winston into one of the great mean of his century. She sent her son the books that moulded his style of writing and speech; used her enormous influence to get him transferred from one war to another; got him his early assignments as war correspondent; acted as agent to sell his first story and his first books; campaigned alongside him in his early elections; opened doors for him to all the important people of his time. But most of all she gave him her courage and her stamina. It was a brassy kind of courage. In the last dramatic scene of her life, the doctor told her he would have to amputate her infected leg. This was a woman whose lovely legs and tiny feet were her special vanity-she had even displayed her collected evening shoes in a glass case. Yet, her answer came calmly and quickly: make sure you cut high enough. Her stamina was also remarkable. In the course of a lifetime, Jennie was editor and publisher of an international literary magazine; organized a hospital ship for the Boer War and traveled with it for its first shipload of wounded: was a pianist of professional ability; took turns as playwright, author, reporter; directed national expositions and theatricals; single-handedly conducted political campaigns at a time when most women were not even permitted to attend the theater alone. At thirty-three, she had married a man younger than Winston, but her beauty was still so extraordinary that the marriage caused only a minimum of surprise. She was, of course, what her world was. It was a world of hypoctritical morals, as faked as the bustle, thinly gilded with pretentious propriety. A Prime Minister's wife once said of Jennie, she could have governed the world. In a sense, she almost did.

Martin, Ralph Guy was born on March 4, 1920 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Son of Herman and Tillie (Charno) Martin.
He studied at City College of New York and, subsequently, University of Missouri from which he graduated in 1941 with a bachelor"s degree in journalism.
Other successful tomes focused on British royal romance (Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in 1974, as well as Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1985) and on the Kennedy family (John F Kennedy in 1983 and Joseph P Kennedy in 1995). Born in Chicago, Ralph Martin Goldberg was eight years old when his family moved to Brooklyn, and started using the name Martin at an early age. Twenty-one years old upon receiving his diploma, he decided to hitchhike and found a newspaper job at Box Elder News Journal which served Brigham City, the county seat of Utah"s Box Elder County.
In December, following declaration of war in the aftermath of attack on Pearl Harbor, Martin enlisted in the Army and spent the war as a combat correspondent for the Armed Forces newspaper Stars and Stripes and the Army weekly magazine, Yank.
Returning to civilian life in 1945, Martin began working as editor for news and analysis publications Newsweek and The New Republic and became executive editor at decorating and domestic arts magazine House Beautiful. Having lived for years in the Connecticut town of Westport, near New York City, Martin moved to the Kendal on Hudson retirement community in another of the city"s suburbs, Sleepy Hollow, where he died seven-and-a-half weeks before his 93rd birthday.
A clip from the conversation was included on Rose"s year-end show in memoriam of 35 guests on his programs, between 1991 and 2009, who died in 2013.
