Notes and topics

Kallin asks BR to contribute a talk on Wittgenstein for a Third Programme series, "starting with the early Vienna period and going up to his death." There are "great difficulties" in such a project and she expects "attacks" from "this world and probably the next." A talk from BR is Kallin's "greatest concern". She would like BR to focus on Wittgenstein as a man, though making a clean division between the man and his philosophy is understandably impossible. Recording can be done in London or Wales, as it suits BR.
