In this book Larry Harwood situates and evaluates Bertrand Russell’s thought on religion within the context of Russell’s biography. His well-known animus toward religious belief is highlighted and maintained without neglecting his quieter and comparatively unknown quest for something religious. The book argues that while Russell’s critique of religious belief is not unlike that of other thinkers, his superlative prose, extraordinary skill with words, and candor gave him an advantage and audiences beyond competing secular thinkers. Harwood argues that among secularists few have been as vehemently critical of religious belief and believers as Russell, while even fewer have displayed his appetite for some religious truth. The author presses these two antipodes in Russell’s mind to provide a holistic picture of the life and thought of arguably the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century. By the conclusion of this study, the reader has witnessed Russell as not only a petulant and abiding critic of religious belief, but also as a thinker who has “carried the burden of God.”
Congressional hearing on how radio spectrum can be managed to achieve sound communications policy. This is the first hearing before the Committee's Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Trade, & Consumer Protection with the head of the NTIA & the Chairman of the FCC. The Clinton Administration proposed additional spectrum auctions in its fiscal year 1998 budget. The FCC scheduled a number of auctions for later in 1997, one of them ordered by the agreement on the last budget. The FCC & the NTIA still have a role in managing the spectrum in the public interest, which must mean more than simply financial profit for the government.
