Notes, topics or text

"I have received the transcript of my 'debate' with Russell. Incidentally, there was no rehearsal. We just engaged in general conversation before we went on the air."

"I am looking forward to receiving your letter anent my Russell piece in Encounter. I can now, thanks to you, date that exchange between Russell and me on his Glamour article. It was not published during the hot days of the controversy. It came out when there was some hope of taking an appeal and before he won his judgment against Barnes. My memory of my expostulations with him is sharp and strong because we were trying to emphasize his purely scholarly achievements in the public mind and blot out his role as advisor to the love-lorn."
