<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Although, since I did not have my signed copy of Ree´s <i>The Human Comedy of Chess</i> in front of me, I had not arranged the pawns on the queenside precisely as they were in the actual game.) Ftacnik thought he was winning and had played 56...g6-g5?? But he was stunned by the response of 57 g4!. All other moves lost for white. But 57 g4! won. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After an hour´s thought, Ftacnik continued 57...hxg4 58 h5 Ke6 59 Kf2 Kf7 60 Kg3 Kg7 61 Kxg4 Kh6 62 Kf5 Kxh5 63 Kxf6 g4 64 e5 g3 65 e6 g2 66 e7 g1=Q 67 e8=Q+ Kh4 68 Qh8+ Kg3 69 Qg8+ Kg2 70 Qxg1+ Kxg1 71 Ke5 Kf2 72 Kd5 Ke3 73 Kc6 Kd2 74 Kxb6 Kc2 75 Ka5 Kxb2 76 Kxa4 Kc3 77 Kb5 and black resigned.</div>
Afterwards I would send Bryony a follow up e mail directing her to Entry 322<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> with its listing of all such surprises in pawn endings (via Entry 392) at one of my favourite websites: Tim Krabbé´s Chess Curiosities - </span><a href="https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/diary.htm" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #196ad4; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/diary.htm</a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Entry 321 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/diary_17.htm" rel="nofollow" style="color: #196ad4;" target="_blank">https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2/diary_17.htm</a> Tim saw what he perhaps took to be the only example of it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">But in Entry 322, appended in August 2006, he lists seventeen other instances of the breakthrough. And then found that further researches turned up another ten. And then that still others had been occuring! In the great majority the opportunity to execute the decisive response had been overlooked. (Krabbé includes the one occasion when what he had thought to be the "winning chance" was missed but a subsequent analysis showed the chap on the receiving end would, even then, have been able to hold) - </span><a href="https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/12287/does-white-really-have-a-win-in-this-pawn-ending-as-claimed-by-tim-krabb%c3%a9">https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/12287/does-white-really-have-a-win-in-this-pawn-ending-as-claimed-by-tim-krabb%c3%a9</a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">One was in a game by a Dutchman called Welling where he thus defeated Soviet GM Eingorn. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Welling later told Krabbé that he had only became aware of the idea through having read about it a few weeks earlier at Tim´s site </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">(either by Entry 321 or 322)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (!)</span><div><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">(btw, there is a correction by Welling of the false claim that it was also after an hour´s thought (don´t forget Ftacnik´s pondering for one hour after having been hit by Ree´s 57 g3-g4! that Eingorn resigned. Welling says this was not what happened, for Eingorn had resigned after much less time. But a misconception that he had thought for a full hour had occurred.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Or perhaps that´s just me looking for coincidences!)<br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When looking up his Entries on the Salvioli pawn break at Krabbé ´s site I had actually spotted a misspelling of the word "simple" as "simpe" at Entry 392 and only a few days later, on May 3rd 2020, I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">e mailed him about it.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At 10:31 A.M. two days later he responded -</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Mr Famous Chess Grandmaster,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sorry about that, always happy with a good corrector.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also on May 2nd 2020, Bryony´s mother, Ruth, had already sent me some games Bryony had played since her last lesson with me of April 29th 2020, one of which was in a simul given by Tim Wall. I had responded to say little more than that Tim</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> featured in two examples of coincidence at my Blog: Entries (75) and (154).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had been apt to tell Bryony that I always learned from any pupil I taught.</span></div>

This was a part of my training for several things and specifically for my health.<br />
I had decided, in the days still left, to hone my concerns down to just eight or so. e.g. Spanish, keyboard skills, etc, and several of these were far from "all or nothing" commitments but just "trimming" things to a level of respectability. The eighth and least important was getting my formal ELO rating back to 2500. It had peaked, in 2000, at 2529.<br />
<div class="yiv5857275435ydp6724b978yiv8684348768ydpbbc0d74dyiv0041770682yahoo-style-wrap" dir="ltr">
I myself had won the British Championship in 1990 ahead of a world class field, achieved a world ranking of 100th in the 1980s and had plus scores against two players who had been ranked in the world top ten and against two others who played matches for the world championship. I had even received accolades of "genius" for one of my games: a victory over Miles. <a href="https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1097818&kpage=3#kibitzing">https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1097818&kpage=3#kibitzing</a><br />
But imagination, flair, risk and "genius" may not always be reflected in the ELO rating. And indeed whilst running I thought on how the ranking system for this ´mind sport´ is unfortunate in that one may attain a very high ELO by not tryng to win. In my 1988 book <i>Playing To Win</i> I quoted GM Vlastimil Hort that it did not seem entirely right to him that Ulf Andersson should have so high an ELO (he had been ranked about third in the world in the early 1980s) "for purely defensive play".<br />
I still had ELO of over 2500 on both the Blitz and Rapids lists, but those were much less important than the International ELO which had taken some progressive hits over the previous year and thus rendered me very much wish to restore it to the almost formal level of respectability: 2500. I had entertained and sometimes actually voiced greater ambition than that. But on the training run I thought that I ought now to be accepting that the years were taking their toll and content myself with getting 2500 back as realistic.Although of my eight goals which I had set for myself, this was by far the least important.</div>
When I got home, circa noon, I turned on Twitter and one of the first things I saw was a reTweeted post from someone whom I did not follow and indeed of whom I had never heard: Grandmaster Jesse Kraai. It was headed<br />
<b>The Road Back to 2500</b><br />
I thought that he might be referring to a rating at an on line web site or his USCF rating, as each of those was always quite a bit higher than an International ELO. I also thought he might be styling himself "GM" in some equally non-recognised manner.<br />
Yet it transpired that he was an authentic American GM who had acquired the title in 2007 - the first American to reach that status since Tal Shaked a decade earlier. But, although I knew many American GMs, his name was unknown to me.<br />
He told me that he had only put up the Post of <b>The Road Back to 2500 </b>the previous day: Jan 22nd 2020.<br />
Like me he was a GM of mature years whose ELO rating had slipped down (to 2436) and now he too was aiming to restore it to the very same level of respectability upon which I had just decided.<br />
And, like me, he was now making that amendment known (I had let my wife in on my new "trimmed" ambition, too.) And I also had made the commitment on The Road Back to ...<br />
...my home.<br />

Although the position is similar to one which arose in the game Timman Vs Mestel, London 1982, which Timman won and also to that which arose in the fifth game of the Korchnoi Vs Karpov, World Championship Match, Baguio City 1978, which Karpov clung on to draw, my machinations soon led me to realise that it was in fact also drawn.<br />
Here, by the way, is a game from two men who would later contend The <i>Times</i> 1993 World Championship Match. In the ending that arose at move 93 the position is actually won for the man with the bishop as the doubled knight´s pawn means that, after the defender is compelled to give it away, the resultant position will not be a stalemate - <a href="https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1070432">https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1070432</a><br />

The following day I competed in a Rapids event in the town of Sumacárcer in the province of Valencia and, during my third round game as black against the Spanish Fide Master Juan Llinares Tolledano the very set up arose at move 62 -<br />

<br />
Within the hour I received an e mail from Cannon himself. It was only the second e mail he had ever sent me, the previous one being in January 2017 in which he had said he was back in Bedford to visit his aging mum. He now said that he had spoken with my mother the previous evening when watching the Spain Vs Portugal World Cup soccer match on TV in the Charter House home where she was resident. His mother, he informed me, was also a resident there and on the same ward. <div>I had not known that.<br />
<br />
I e mailed him back re what I had just been thinking about. He responded with their names -<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">´<i>Chris & Jonny Potter. We played chess & backgammon that afternoon.</i>´</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
As I myself had left Charter House Care Home on one occasion, I too had seen their parents sitting in the front room of 30 Kimbolton Road. For Charter House was in the same street and more or less opposite. </div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">They too had football on their telly.</div>

I then took a shower and found myself musing on some remarks made to me the previous year on my lack of committed professionalism. But I responded that I was not really a chess pro. I even said out loud whilst showering, <div>"I´m a writer, not a chessplayer!" <br />
This I cribbed from a song of Gilbert O´Sullivan´s from the 1970s, although It had never been released as a single and I had not heard the track in many years: "<i>I'm A Writer, Not A Fighter</i>" It was also the title track of an album. I am pretty sure that I had never heard the entire album al the way through.<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4KxTD9l2yg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4KxTD9l2yg</a><br />A grandmaster had once observed to me of a game of mine, "You play this game like ARTIST!"</div><div>I stepped out of the shower and found that the Youtube recordings of <i>Just A Minute</i> had moved on to an episode which had been uploaded in November 2017 and which I had not heard before.<br />
At 8:01 I heard Sue Perkins make a remark to host, Nicholas Parsons re a fellow performer, John Sargent - <div>"He´s a dancer. He´s a dancer, not a fighter."<br />

It was on their <i>COMMENT</i> snippet, which followed on from <i>Channel 4 News</i> and she had spoken in defence of a man convicted of sexual assault by stimulating a dolphin with his hand. She pointed out that, had the animal not enjoyed it, it could have made its feelings known in no uncertain manner.<br />
The resurfacing of this incident surfaced after we had visited the beach and given scraps to a local seagull whom we had dubbed "Gavin".<br />Later that day I was surfing across Youtube and found myself watching a Bill Maher show where he was to make me aware, for the first time, of his empathy with what Fiona and myself thought as he now pleaded in defence of another chap in a similar situation.<br />Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00255586909041592209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23474687.post-27432505804448207882017-03-11T05:22:00.007-08:002024-01-04T08:03:15.512-08:00(286) Gaddaffis "reborn"In the mid 1980s the idea circulated that Madonna was Marilyn Monroe reborn. She denied having any confidence in it. I heard from people close to a "spiritual source" that the "source" had stated that it was authentic. But Madonna was born in the 1950s and Monroe died in the early 1960s. The goalposts quite shifted as I then heard that it was a kind of "thematic or archetypal life".<br />
Ah, well... okay then. There are parallels; American, blonde, actress, singer, beauty, superstar...<br />
<br />
Around that same time I heard, apparently stemming from the same "spiritual source", that Mussolini had become Colonel Gaddaffi. I scrutinised their faces and saw that there are similar lineaments. But, without being ´armed´ with the supposition, these similarities might never occur to you. Also, of course, two autocrats who, in effect, ran their own fiefdoms and were then both killed by their own people.<br />
<br />
Around lunchtime on March 11th 2017 I was reading this piece of Jonathan Freedland´s in <i>The Guardian</i> - <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/mar/11/1930s-humanity-darkest-bloodiest-hour-paying-attention-second-world-war">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/mar/11/1930s-humanity-darkest-bloodiest-hour-paying-attention-second-world-war</a><br />
The photo of Mussolini prompted me to mention this suggested progression of identity to my wife and she said that she had heard it from me years before and had dissed it because their lives overlapped. I did not recall her saying so, I knew Mussolini was hanged at the end of World War Two but was uncertain of when the other guy appeared.<br />
So I Googled Gaddaffi and discovered from Wikipedia that he was (probably) born in 1942. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi</a> I originally entered something re "Death of Colonel Gaddaffi". My second search was just his name.<br />
<br />
A few moments later, at about 14:14, I saw I had two new e mails, the first having been sent at 11:25.<br />
It read -<br />

<a href="https://soundcloud.com/samharrisorg/60-an-evening-with-richard-dawkins-and-sam-harris-2">https://soundcloud.com/samharrisorg/60-an-evening-with-richard-dawkins-and-sam-harris-2</a><br />
I had not listened to it before. It had arrived by e mail ten hours earlier. Here is the Youtube version - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Ag-aNwySE">An Evening with Richard Dawkins – Featuring Sam Harris – Night 2 - YouTube</a><div>
<br />
I was thinking about my six previously cited reasons for accepting the existence of some Deity.<br />
Those are -<br /><span style="color: #2b00fe;">
a) My over forty very brief experiences of a compassion way beyond normal consciousness and which could only be described as Divine.<br />
b) That others report such experiences of the Divine.<br />
c) The coincidences recorded here.<br />
d) The faults with neo-Darwinism.<br />
e) The philosophical argument from design.<br />
f) The very existence of the ´Occult Classics´.</span><br />
<br />I would also now add </div><div><span style="color: #2b00fe;">g) The aesthetic sense in Man.</span></div><div><br />To each of my six points instance there are, of course, counter arguments.<br />
<br />Sceptics might argue:-</div><div><br /><span style="color: red;">
a) There is only my testimony to have experienced the Divine.<br />
b) There is only the testimony of those others who claim to have experienced it too.<br />
c) That coincidence does not necessarily point to anythng beyond itself.<br />
d) Lack of authentic evidence for neo-Darwinian theory does not demand acceptance of a Deity. Strident anti-Darwinists such as Dr James le Fanu and Richard Milton have no religious beliefs.<br />
e) Those who detect design in Nature that they attribute to a Higher Power speak only for themselves.<br />
f) And claims re an ´outpouring of Esoteric truth´ in books which began in the late 19th century with Blavatsky have yet to be independently corroborated. Some people simply like drawing attention to themselves. Plus a lot of the writings of Blavatsky, Bailey, Besant, Rudolf Steiner, etc is largely repetitive verbiage.</span></div><div><br />
Point<span style="color: red;"> a) </span>was the overwhelming one.<br />
Impossible for the experiencer to doubt some Divine component to reality after even one such experience. I promoted it in my mental reckoning from 80% significance to a full 90%.<br />
Point (c) I demoted from a significance of 10% to now only 5%.<br />Point d), however, I, continued with an allocation of just 1%. It may at best be called "indirect evidence", since Darwin critics like Milton and le Fanu harbour no belief in a Deity.<br />
<br />
I found myself thinking on how, in any exposition of why I accepted God´s existence, the importance of the faults with neo-Darwinian theory were only 1%.<br />
Within four seconds of my thinking that I heard what Harris, when in conversation with perhaps the world´s leading neo-Darwinist, says at 17:17 of the podcast. </div><div>"Just imagine what it would be like if only 1% had dreams at night"<br />That caught my attention so I listened more keenly to the few minutes before and after that.<br />
Circa 14:05 he and Dawkins agree that personal and introspective experience may be of value scientifically. Harris expounds on how he has been trying to do away with the distinction between outer ´canonical´ fact and subjective experience. For him each is valuable.<br />
<br />
Finally, (and<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #800180;">much, much less importantly!)</span></span> at 16:00 Harris points out that we could never know what was going through the head of "JFK" just before his assassination.<br />Later that day when making the short drive home after a lunchtime visit to the beach I found my car immediately behind a black one with a numberplate ending in JFK (!)</div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00255586909041592209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23474687.post-55742711227383026082016-10-25T11:53:00.000-07:002016-10-25T11:53:34.434-07:00(283) The run up Calvary and then San Julián later that weekOn<span style="color: #660000;"> the</span> evening of March 28th 2016 I remarked to my wife that as part of my training for the upcoming <i>Ruta de Las Fortelezas</i> I was intending that week to do something that I had never done before, i.e. run up not just one of the nearby hills of San Julián or Calvary but first Calvary and then without pause, San Julián.<br />
I had only begun running up the Calvary hill a few weeks before and had made hardly any such runs, in contrast with the dozens of ascents I had made of San Julián over the previous few years, although I had many times driven to the spring atop Calvary to stock up on water.<br />
Fiona then said that there was such a dual ascent being run that very week. for a local charity: pay 10 Euro entry, run up Calvary, then San Julián and then enjoy a paella lunch in the village that lay closest to the base of each hill, Lo Campano. (One also got to keep the T shirt.)<br />
The charity was for residents of Lo Campano threatened with social exclusion.<br />
<br />
She had discovered this fact only seconds before when looking at a page, still open on her computer, of <a href="http://www.cartagena.es/detalle_noticias.asp?id=195480">http://www.cartagena.es/detalle_noticias.asp?id=195480</a> where the lead item announced the dual ascent for charity.<br />
<br />
This was only the second year when such a mini run had been organised.<br />
And many people were of like mind to myself and planned to use it as a useful part of their training for the <i>Ruta de Las Fortelezas</i>.<br />
But unlike me, their announcement of intent had not coincided exactly with their learning of the charity run, for Fiona, who was wont to consult the Cartagena Town Hall site on some three occasions per week, or perhaps just a few more, had only just then read of it.<br />

White wins with 1 Rd1!! Kd5 2 Kd7! and thus catches the pawn.<br />
<br />
Although over previous decades I had many, many times seen this thing, it was only that evening that I was intrigued enough to figure out precisely just <i>WHY</i> 1 Rd1! is the, clever, way to win.<br />
(After all, as so many indolent players think: h<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ow often do you truly require arcane endgame knowledge?)</span></div>

And in over thirty-one years as a Grandmaster I could not recall ever coming across an instance of that theme.<br />

Brodowski (2452) Vs Leniart,(2480) European Universities Championship, Yerevan, 2015.<br />

(james-plasketts-coincidence-diary.blogspot.com)</a>At 21:12 on June 29th 2015 I was flicking through a Youtube version of the 2000 film <i _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1">Gladiator </i>- <a _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbBiXPVKuTA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbBiXPVKuTA</a><br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /> I reached the point just before a particular scene which I wanted to see. <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /> Other available versions showed only certain excised scenes, but not the film in its entirety. It is where the gladiator portrayed by Russell Crowe talks with the slave owner played by the late Oliver Reed. The preceding scene, where Crowe takes on and slaughters a half dozen gladiators one by one, I had seen before as one of those excised. <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /> I now saw Crowe, after his killing spree, lobbing his sword to hit a distant table and asking of the ampitheatre crowd, "Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?" He then spits into the dust and walks off as the crowd chant his name. And I had seen that finale before, too. <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" />But the complete film here seemed to show a slightly different cut to that with which I was familiar. A missing bit was of Reed exhorting Crowe not just to kill but rather, in order to keep the crowd coming back, </span><div><span _msthash="30800" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="6648135">"So entertain!". <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /> But, as may be seen in the given clip Reed actually says nothing to Crowe. <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /><span _msthash="33458" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="11211395">At about 21:20 I saw that. </span></span></div><div><span _msthash="30800" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="257053953"><span _msthash="33458" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="7539844">At almost the precise moment when "Spaniard" was asking the crowd "Are you not entertained?" an e mail came in from </span><span _msthash="33459" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="116419043"><span _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" style="color: red;"><i _istranslated="1">London Real</i></span>.

Circa June 18th 2014 I pointed out to my wife a lady with only one arm who was on the beach with us at Cala Cortina. Her right arm came down only a few inches from her shoulder. I had never seen her before and had been frequenting said beach for eight years .<br />Two days later I was resting at some traffic lights two to three miles away when a car hit me from behind. I turned off the engine and got out... and discovered very little damage... and also that it was the very same lady.<br />

She had been disputing an earlier statistic that I had advanced where Sam Harris had cited 38% of British Muslims as advocating the death penalty for any apostate. It may be heard here at 3:00 - <a _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZVYfADAnw8&list=PL45FAA00C0F2F490E">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZVYfADAnw8&list=PL45FAA00C0F2F490E</a><br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /> <br _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" /><span _msthash="550" _mstmutation="1" _msttexthash="32212882"> I had sent her one link to Harris on Youtube where he gave a high % and was now moved to e mail her across (she was actually in an adjacent room!) another one where he gave a still higher figure. She was not enthusiastic about Harris and sent me across this link - </span><span _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px / 15.92px arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><a _istranslated="1" href="http://www.loonwatch.com/tag/sam-harris/">http://www.loonwatch.com/tag/sam-harris/</a> </span>I began reading it, and did not find it very supportive of her negativity.

<em _msthash="368" _msttexthash="63922261">There is no vice in having once been religious, for we all of us inherit our mythologies from our parents, but Harris did not inherit his Buddhist and Hindu beliefs. He was bred in a secular home, granted a secular education and lived in a secular state. Instead, he chose to abandon his secular upbringing and voluntarily convert to a foreign religious system.</em></div>

It also clarifies why he studiously will not say, as any materialist should have no problem affirming, that there is no afterlife. In numerous occasions when the subject has arisen either in his book or when he's been asked if he believes that consciousness lives on beyond</em> the death of the brain in interviews like <a _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1" href="http://www.salon.com/2006/07/07/harris_24/" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px currentcolor; color: #ff7800; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank"><em _istranslated="1"> this Salon appearance</em></a>, <em _istranslated="1" _mstmutation="1">he has chosen to either declare his belief in reincarnation or, if the audience is a sceptical lot, preferred the evasive formulation of "I just don't know" because "If we were living in a universe where consciousness survived death, or transcended the brain so that single neurons were conscious – or subatomic particles had an interior (subjective) dimension – we would not expect to see it by our present techniques of neuro-imaging or cellular neuroscience."</em></span></div>

Alluding to the case studies of past-life regressions by Ian Stevenson cited in The End of Faith, he explained "There are these spooky stories." When the assembled congregation of scientists erupted in astonished laughter at his religious credulity, he grew visibly nervous and, keen to skate past the embarrassing moment, shot back with "Okay, you are on firm ground being sceptical about reincarnation ... I have published a few spooky things about telepathy and reincarnation which amount to not an endorsement of these beliefs, but just, you know, I hear there is all this data and someone like Dean Radin writes a book about it, and Brian Josephson, a Nobel Laureate in physics, blurbs it. I don't have the time to do the meta-analyses and statistical expertise. So, I'm awaiting the evidence. Listen (with rising chagrin) I don't want to talk about reincarnation.

No. My brother is not a Radice. He married a girl from Canada whose parents were living in Bedford. They arranged the wedding. Church service, marquee in their garden then an evening disco thing at the Shakespeare Hotel. I only found out yesterday that the Shakespeare Hotel was formerly the Radice family home.</div>

No. I have four brothers. No half brothers. I have been married twice. The first time to Henry Radice whose family lived at one time at 27 Shakespeare Road. I can't remeber how we got onto Bedford now.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
