Bertie and Trips

[Steelhead]

Wasn't it Mimi Farina who observed that TRP would spend langorous
afternoons thumbing his way through the *Principia Mathematica* as if it
were the latest novel from Sax Rohmer? Or something to that effect.

TRP's himself tips his hat to Bertie somewhere. And it's not hard to see why:
BR was the St. Jerome of Modern Mathematics, ensaring himself in ridiculous
logical conundrums, he was a pacifist (who called for the destruction of
the USSR w/ nuclear weapons), an indulgent in opiates, and, most
importantly, an oddball, an outcast with, as we see, a Blicero-like (don't
exterminate the Negroes, enslave them) dark side. And we shan't even
mention the mystical mister Whitehead.
