She was on Desert Island Discs this morning (she is vice-chancellor of
Cambridge University) and she said something pertinent to my current
thoughts on leaving this list and being lonely again. She pointed out that
she works with people (professors) who are intellectually much more able
than herself and she just accepts that. Also here there are most of the
people who are much superior to the likes of me and can communicate verbally
in a way that is impossible for me. So I suppose her advice to me would be
to stick around.
Inciidentally for Ken her favourite music was the Marshallin's farewell to
Octavio.
