First, an interview by Ethan Doyle White with British scholar of esotericism Dave Evans<\/a>, who did his doctorate with Hutton at Bristol<\/a> and speaks well of him:<\/p>\n

Having a conversation with Ronald is a delight, and I had him to myself every 3 weeks or so, for a precious half an hour, for almost 3 years. I am a very lucky person. He is indeed a very friendly man, but no pushover when you work for him- he is a superb adviser on academic work; firm but fair, and he will not allow crap work to get through the filters- he steered, cajoled, encouraged and generally supported some very difficult stuff I was doing, at the same time as managing his perpetually massive workload in other areas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Second, news that Professor Hutton will be hosting a program for the Yesterday Channel<\/a> (half-owned by the BBC, I am told) called Professor Hutton’s Curiosities<\/em>, about little-known museums in the London area. I think that one of these is the Horniman Museum<\/a>. Let me know if it is any good, since I do not have satellite or cable TV.<\/p>\n
