In Mary Warnock, Warnock entertains with her charming personal
history and carefully crafted gossip—right down to Margaret Thatcher’s
hairstyle. But it is unsettling that such an influential person regards the
word-splitting philosophies of Gilbert Ryle as the heyday of Oxford, let alone
philosophy. Published by Gerald Duckworth, £18, ISBN 0715629557.
