futurebird's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- �Sex, Reason and War� I�m writing on this play about Bertrand Russell but I�m having trouble getting the first world war to break out. I really don�t feel like I�ve read nearly enough history on the Great War to write about it . . .
