 Bertrand Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell was born at the height of Britain's economic and political ascendancy.
Russell thought Wittgenstein's elevation of language as the only reality with which philosophy need be concerned was absurd, and he decried his influence and the influence of his followers, especially members of the so-called "Oxford school" of ordinary language philosophy, who he believed were promoting a kind of mysticism.
Russell was an early critic of the official story in the John F. Kennedy assassination; his "16 Questions on the Assassination" from 1964 is still considered a good summary of the apparent inconsistencies in that case.

At this time the Duchess of Gordon, having secured two Dukes for her daughters, was trying to engage the interests of John's brother, the 5th Duke of Bedford, in her daughter Lady Georgiana Gordon.
When the 5th Duke died suddenly at only thirty-six, she dressed her daughter in mourning; after all, the Duke's last request had been to cut off a lock of his hair and sent to Lady Georgiana.
This sudden death made Lord John Russell the 6th Duke of Bedford; the sudden responsibilities only six months after his wife's death caused an instability in which he refuted the Duchess of Gordon's announcement that there had been a private engagement between Georgiana and his deceased brother.
