Notably: It’s Bertrand Russell’s 151st birthday. He almost lived to be 100, dying in 1970 after spending his final years campaigning against nuclear weapons. He could write as simply and clearly as Hemingway, but more searchingly, and was a public intellectual with enough intelligence and curiosity for a small country. Some of his biographers really didn’t like him. But Is should say no more: “A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says is never accurate,” Russell warned, “because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something that he can understand.” He was of course referring to hacks like me.

—P.T.

Do you think that, if you were granted omnipotence and omniscience and millions of years in which to perfect your world, you could produce nothing better than the Ku Klux Klan or the Fascists?

–Bertrand Russell, from Why I Am Not a Christian (1957).
