With typical Shavian logic, Bernard Shaw, 92, briefly considered in The New Statesman and Nation his physical and spiritual homes: "I have lived for twenty years in Ireland and for seventy-two in England; but the twenty came first, and in Britain I am still a foreigner and shall die one . . . There never was any such species as Anglo-Irish; and there never will be. It is hard to make Englishmen understand this, because America can change an Englishman into a Yankee before his boots are worn out" Of the "illusion" that "the Irish are The Chosen Race...
...anything about it? Not much, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last week. The court upheld dismissal of the suit of two sisters who had sued a Tuscaloosa radio station for digging up a story about their father's disappearance in 1905.

There are only two sorts of meaningful statements, he says-those based on observable facts, and those which connect them by logic. In Ayer's philosophy, statements like "There is a God" are neither true nor false, since he regards them as unverifiable. It means nothing to say, "That man is good to support his mother." The fact is that the man supports his mother. Calling him good merely expresses an attitude towards the action...
