Churchill's dentures fetch nearly $24,000

A partial set of British wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill's gold-mounted dentures has fetched 15,200 pounds ($23,770) at an auction, over three times the estimate.
The false teeth, specially designed to disguise Churchill's lisp, were sold by the son of the technician who was commissioned to make them.
They had been expected to make a maximum of 5,000 pounds at Thursday's sale by Keys auctioneer.
"The atmosphere was electric," said a Keys' spokesman.
The buyer, a collector of Churchill memorabilia from Gloucestershire, also owns the microphone with which Churchill announced the end of the war in Europe in 1945.

Officials ordered to quit club following outcry

More than 30 Chinese government officials have been ordered to cancel their membership of a really luxurious golf club in the wealthy eastern city of Wenzhou after a torrent of online criticism.
The Wenzhou Golf Association (WGA) charges 398,000 yuan or $58,583 for membership, about 40 times the average annual income of farmers in Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located.
Reports about the WGA provoked a backlash on the internet.
China's ruling Communist Party has repeatedly vowed to stamp out official corruption, a key source of public discontent as the booming economy gives senior officials many opportunities to use their power for private gain.
Some officials claimed they had not been informed they were given membership, which would be equivalent to several years salary.
