...perambulations are such that only a good detective could have kept track of her. She has bummed her way afoot over most of Europe, making many an acquaintance on the way, once wrote a novel which she lost in Lake Maggiore, married and divorced famed French Journalist Count Bertrand de Jouvenel, accompanied a French youth delegation to Berlin, returned to the U. S. to roam in Mexico, the Texas oil fields, Hollywood...
...maids of both sexes were taking extra looks under their beds last week, and the air smelt rank and musty, as a wrathy bishop thundered against the appointment of Bertrand Russell as a professor and department head at the College of the City of New York. Puffing out his decent cheeks in righteous indignation, the Right Reverend William Thomas Manning wheezed that the eminent Briton had a past.

...married life of Bertrand Russell, nobly-born British mathematician and philosopher, has been unconventional. His first wife, Alys Pearsall Smith, a Quaker, divorced him in 1921 because he was about to have a child by another woman, Dora Winifred Black.

Cried he: "Good God!" Retorted she, slamming...
Because, for all his eccentricities, Bertrand Russell is an expert mathematician, an original philosopher and one of the most lucid modern writers, he has always been welcome in the world's great universities. A U. S. resident since 1938, he has taught at University of Chicago, University of California (this year), next fall will lecture at Harvard. Last week Bertrand Russell's career took a surprising turn: he was appointed a full professor and head of the philosophy department (beginning next February) of big, sprawling, pragmatic College of the City of New York...
