Notes and topics

"The Hotel Californian" "Two days ago, being Sunday, I found myself near Mexico with 2 hours to spare, so I took a taxi and went over the border." "Yesterday I met Millikan, the eminent physicist—a pleasant fellow but an earnest Christian. I was lecturing to students on the philosophy of physics. Then I was entertained by Upton Sinclair: a dull man, just like his books. He talks on and on, in a flat voice, about scandals."

Good section on John B. Watson's views on sex as told to BR during the trip across the Atlantic.
