- Our mumble-minded President-elect, Slick Willie,
- was educated at Oxford U, the same joint where Wittgenstein,
- a leading light in contemporary sophistry,
- earned an international reputation as an intellectual fraud.
- See Ernst Gellner's _Words and Things_ for an excellent
- description of W's manipulations and evasions in the classroom.

- Some weeks ago in MTV-Europe, Rebecca deRuvo gave us a
- "Wittgenstein special" where it transpired not only that
- he mainly hanged out in Cambridge but also that he was an
- ordinary old fashioned philosopher dealing with the usual
- questions of philosophy in a rather conventional way.
- Perhaps you have other information from MTV in USA?
