This is pretty out-of-the-way, but maybe somebody out there 
can help me.  The following inference scheme is invalid for 
certain adjectives.
		x is an ADJ N
		Thus, x is a N.
For instance, from the fact that x is a former head of dept,
it certainly doesn't follow that x is a head of dept.

Now, I once long ago read a discussion of these "alienating
adjectives" but I cannot now find it.  I could have sworn
it was in something by Peter Geach, but I cannot find it in
*Logic Matters* or *Reference and Generality*.  Anyone knowing
a good discussion of this matter, or even just knowing more
about this than what I've posted, please respond by email.
(I don't think the groups will be too interested.)
Thanks.
B-o} Michael
