Established in 1879 on 111th Street in the Beverly area of Chicago; Mount Greenwood Cemetery is an open-air museum that reflects three centuries of history. The Victorian cemetery--with its large; decorative monuments set on a rolling landscape amid winding roads--is an oasis treasured by its neighbors and by families whose loved ones rest there. It is home to educators; artists; veterans; businessmen; social reformers; ministers; and everyday people. The grounds also host heroes who stepped up in a time of need and people who lost their lives in epidemics and horrific disasters. On any given day; joggers in colorful gear can be seen running past a group on a brisk morning walk. Signs announce an upcoming history program or 5K race. Workers plant flowers on the grounds; while family historians ponder the memorials. A Civil War group places markers on veterans tombstones. Members of a service organization walk to their monument; planning an event. A group of schoolchildren examines graves; and a journalist snaps a photograph.

High drama at WW2 tipping point.By Queen of HeartsI found this play a superb dramatization of the moment when WW2 hung in the balance. Newly installed PM Winston Churchill stands up against arch appeasers former PM Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax. I only wish I could have seen the play. Hope someone makes in into a teleplay. Highest recommendation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Man who saved Western CivilizationBy steven kAsked to write a review of Three Days in May. I saw this play; Three Days in May; last year in London. Play takes place in May; 1940. Churchill has just become the Prime Minister. France was about to surrender to Hitler; the British Army was still trapped in Europe. The miraculous Dunkirk evacuation had not happened yet. The British War Cabinet was divided regarding negotiating a peace treaty with Hitler. The play demonstrates Churchills political skills and how he maneuvered the cabinet to fight on. If Churchill had not prevailed; Nazi Germany would probably still control Europe. Without England; the history of WWII would have been totally different. I found the play very exciting and riveting; so I purchased this copy of the script.
