I was only winding the old bustard up about the booze. Hardly touch the
stuff. As to his vain preening about the Aldermaston March - I was there
in, like, 1961, when Russell was still around. Can't say I met him, but
I did go to a party at Ritchie Calder's afterwards (hey, where did that
memotry come from? - Note the genuine mistype...) I was in Germany from
1965-67, part of 68, and from 70 for good (or bad). Now I live in the
Valley of Ancient Crocks dans la France profonde.
