Table talk

Sir: Alas for Professor Brogan's jumping-off point for his 'Table talk' of 27 December: or rather for his reliance upon the accuracy of The Times. Although Garsington's population -has recently swollen, Mr Robert Maxwell can- not be counted as one ot its parishioners. Where could he live but at the Manor? And this, hap- pily, is still the home ot Sir John Wheeler- Bennett.

Mr Maxwell's house far from affording echoes of Bloomsbury na., more of a Stirlen jingle to it—Headington Hill Hall. National 'paper please copy.
