As a dreamer of world peace, Bertrand Russel could say "I see in my mind's eye a great wave of
happiness seeping over the human race, as the old night of hate and fear become
dispersed. I see a new Golden Age the like of which has never been seen since
history began. All this is possible. It needs only that man should choose to
live rather than to die." The philosopher and mathematician, Bertrand
Russel, was born on May 18, 1872.
