review of Strawson 'limpid vernacular'. Originally, his ancestors spoke
French.

out

doesn't care much).

WARD, Simon. He was born in Sundon Park (the clinic there), in Luton,
Bedsfordshire -- (Home Counties), but was bred in Sussex. He now lives in
Dartmoor,
but not in the prison because as he says, "they don't have broadband there".
He collects Roman coins, keeps a beautiful rock garden, and nows everything
about Dartmoor, in central Devon.
WRIGHT, D. -- He lives in Memphis, and writes on a variety of topics. He has
a dog. He contributes with illuminating topics on a broad range of readings,
etc., that he's done.
YOST, Eric. He was born in New Haven, in CT. He now lives in New York City
