* Correction: In this episode I note that Sir Max Aitken was born in England. This is incorrect. He was born in Maple Ontario in 1879 and moved to England in 1910. Elected to England’s parliament, Aitken served until 1916. Knighted in 1911, he later was made a Baronet. When elevated to the peerage in 1917 Max took his title, First Baron Beaverbrook, from a stream called Beaver Brook that he swam in as a youth.
