"Born on 1 Marh 1928, in Ashland, Mississippi, the Mitchell family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Willie was just two years old"

I was reading an issue of the British magazine "Juke Blues" the other day, which has an article about Willie Mitchell, a soul record producer.

"Born on 1 March 1928, in Ashland, Mississippi, the Mitchell family moved to Memphis, Tennessee when Willie was just two years old."

An odd family: parents and children born on the same day.

Hitler, Bormann, Goering, Himmler, and other idiocies

--- In "Actions and events" (PPQ, vol. 67, p. 14) Grice considers:


---- (Ex)(Western democracies are corrupt; x!)

---- She was as gentle as a yound child; Himmler!

---- Theose pictures are very valuable, Goering!

---- The toast is burned, Bormann!

---- Snow is white, Hitler!"

Grice comments:

"What is wrong with these idiocies seems, primarily, to be that no account at all has been provided for [their] purpose".

But then he is echoing, this professor of the philosphy of religion in Oxford "not so long ago"

---- Snow is white, God!
