  Winston Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Field was born and brought up in Bromsgrove in the United Kingdom, and moved to Southern Rhodesia in 1921.
The "imperious and intolerant" (Godwin and Hancock, 1993) Field was elected as Rhodesia's first Rhodesian Front Prime Minister in the 1962 general election and served until he was replaced by Ian Smith in 1964.
Many in the RF felt that Field did not fight hard enough for independence, and he was replaced as leader by Smith in April 1964.

 Winston Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winston Churchill was a descendant of the first famous member of the Churchill family, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough.
Winston's politician father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough; Winston's mother was Lady Randolph Churchill (née Jennie Jerome), daughter of American millionaire Leonard Jerome.
Winston Churchill was an early supporter of the pan-Europeanism that eventually led to the formation of the European Common Market and later the European Union (for which one of the three main buildings of the European Parliament is named in his honour).

 NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second, The Winston Open was reduced to 50 laps, and to guarantee The Winston field would be 20 cars, the field of 20 would be filled out by the top number of cars advancing to the main event until the field was filled to 20 cars.
The Winston returns to the controversial 10-lap shootout which led to controversy in 1987 and 1989, and The Winston Open goes to a 30-lap format.
In The Winston, only the top 20 cars advanced to the second segment, and 10 cars (in 2002) or 14 cars (in 2003 planned, but was 12 after crashes) advanced to the third segment.

In his first NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Winston's men finished second in the 4x400m relay as the quartet of Rich Allen, Seth Amoo, Lewis Banda and Domenik Peterson clocked a 3:00.57 in the finals of the meet, being edged by LSU.

 Xtremist Paintball Field (Winston-Salem, North Carolina) - pbreview.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The field is not that great either, basicly it is two really tick sets one wood divided by an open field with some bunkers in it.
On either end of the field there are woods and in between those woods is a speedball field that one must fight their way across to get to the other woods.
The field paint is relatively cheap and shoots well though I am not sure what brand it is. The owner is a nice guy and he doesn't tolerate cheating of any kind which makes the overall experience fun and enjoyable.

 The Reality of Restrictor Plate Racing
There is no way that these marginal Winston Cup race drivers could race at speeds in excess of 200 M.P.H. It just isn't feasible, they can't keep up with the field on the slower tracks as it is.
If NASCAR decided to forgo the restrictor plates at the super-speedways, the race would be held between a few of the front runners and the rest of the field would be lost, riding around in circles waiting for the race to end.
Some of the present Winston Cup drivers, who would like to consider their selves to be frontrunners, actually have had the gall to complain that the Winston Cup cars are going too fast.

 Malakand Field Force - Winston S. Churchill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Winston S. Churchill often heard these lines quoted by fellow officers on the Malakand campaign.
The Story of the Malakand Field Force was Churchill's first book, the first of a long line ranging from this account of a border war up through the multi-volume works on World War I; his great ancestor the first Duke of Marlborough; World War II; and the English-Speaking Peoples.
But in fact, before young Winston Churchill settled into this writer's paradise, he managed to get himself into other wars in the Sudan and South Africa — at least these did lead to three more books.

 Just War Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Winston Churchill offered the British nation some of the finest of war's rhetoric when it was threatened with defeat and invasion by Nazi Germany in 1940.
In waging war it is considered unfair and unjust to attack indiscriminately since non-combatants or innocents are deemed to stand outside the field of war proper.
Immunity from war can be reasoned from the fact that their existence and activity is not part of the essence of war, which is killing combatants.

 Ernie Shore Field - Home of the Winston-Salem Warthogs
Winston-Salem's Ernie Shore Field is one of those cases, as it was built almost half a century ago, but very nicely renovated in 1993.
I don't know if this was part of the renovation, but it has a nice effect, providing a sense of stability and warmth to the place that is sometimes absent in newer parks that sometimes depend more heavily on concrete.
Perhaps the boldest move of the renovation, however, was the decision not to succumb to the temptation of luxury boxes.

The last time Winston Cup car #8 competed at Richmond was in September 1997, when Hut Stricklin campaigned the Stavolas brothers Ford.
