I'm off a little, I think, but something along these lines?

Right
Solution
Two Russels/to Russell's
Para docks/Paradox

If R contains itself, then R must be a set that is not a member of itself by the definition of R, which is contradictory.

You’re halfway there (slight adjustment)

The first half is what the second half is in relation to (should be apparent, now)

You overestimate my puzzle-solving skills--it should be apparent, but it's not.
Anyone should feel free to jump in and clean this up for me.

That didn’t take much more than three minutes! Wow! I wondered what the rest of the rebus was all about. Then I twigged. Of course! Alexander Graham Bell!

Nice puzzle.

Well done! 'On this day in history'...back then, and not too long ago in our lives, you never heard the question 'where are you' when talking on the phone...ah, the good old days...
