In his marvelous Wittgenstein in Cambridge, Brian McGuinness makes several 
references to a file of 'Nonsense' kept by Wittgenstein -- a collection of 
newspaper reports of pompous people pontificating about the philosophy and the 
state of the world. (Einstein, Hardy, Lodge and Montgomery were apparently 
amongst those who made Wittgenstein laugh.) 


McGuinness describes the file as 'still extant.' Does anyone know where it is? 
Whether it can be consulted? Whether there is an inventory? I'd love to know.
