...York. Puffing out his decent cheeks in righteous indignation, the Right Reverend William Thomas Manning wheezed that the eminent Briton had a past. And a lurid list of exploits it is, one than should automatically disqualify him as an instructor of the pure and innocent American youth. For the Earl has been married three times, divorced on charges of adultery, and has specifically defended in his writings sexual relations "as a purely private matter which does not concern the state or the neighbors." What is to become of us, with this "propagandist against morality" on the loose, fumed...

Settling-up time had come for the Long machine. A photographer from the New Orleans' States got a picture of a State University truck being used to haul building supplies...
Bertrand Russell has bright blue eyes, a big nose and very little chin, looks like Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter. The British upper classes believe that he is mad. For 30 years Earl Russell has scandalized them with his unconventional ideas about politics, marriage, education. According to one tale, a local rector, visiting an unorthodox school for children that Bertrand Russell and the second of his three wives ran in Hampshire a few years ago, knocked on the door, which was opened by a nine-year-old girl, stark naked. Cried he: "Good God!" Retorted she, slamming...
