I took students of the Iris Murdoch Society for a walk in Oxford and we arrived at St Anne's College, where' a sudden fox peers with his brilliant face, and passes.'
A memorable moment and it made me think of giving attention to what is around us

Nigeria currency crisis leaves Dundee University fighting to survive Profuse spending left the institution ill-prepared for a sharp drop in foreign students after Nigeria, a fertile recruiting ground, devalued its currency

Despite drawbacks, several good points here: (1) Dundee University is genuinely fighting for its life; (2) some uni management teams in some unis are out of control; (3) the multiple UK govts don't even have a clue what's going on, no controls and no plan... (1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Are there ideas without people and events, and can events exists without people and ideas? And we need to think about people and what they do. We need a dialectical approach

We really enjoyed editing this book. A wonderful set of contributors, all with something to say. Some know Bob some know the songs, some know this and that along the way. Well worth reading, buying or stealing
