It always fascinated me about the Playgroup (led by Grice after
Austin´s demise) that each member should be so "talented" in an
individual kind of way. Take J. O. Urmson -- by far the greatest living
English philosopher -- and his "Parentheticals". I for one marvelled at

and disagreement with the editors testify). Cheers, J. L. S.
