July 4

[Mark Kohut]

is the day LC commemorated as the day he took young Alice on an outing
and told her the Alice in Wonderland story....

Alice was 7.  10 when the book was first published.

Norbert Weiner, whom TRP cites for his book, The Human Use of Human Beings, wrote
in his autobiography, Ex-Prodigy, that Bertrand Russell always reminded him physically of
The Mad Hatter....and G. E. Moore and AtD's McTaggart reminded him of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
A Borgesian case---not his words---of literature foreseeing certain "characters", so to speak, he seemed to 
joke.
