Quotations
"It took a while before he told me his background: a happy childhood; two degrees - a bachelor�s from a red brick university and an Oxbridge PhD?; a relatively high-flying job in academia that he liked rather than loved." -- Adrian Turpin, Financial Times, "Not tonight darling, I'm online", March 31, 2006.
