Reading matter

Sir: Felicity Wood's letter (15 October) on the Kariba dam wall saga reminded me of a piece in the Zimbabwe Herald which fol- lowed Rowlinson Carter's 13 August Diary report. The Herald published a condemna- tion of Carter's claims by the Zambezi River Authority. It concluded, 'a provin- cial newspaper in Britain based in Read- ing, The Spectator, recently published an article. . .

The recent postal strike prevented me from sending you this eulogy at the time. Clearly it is time for Jeffrey Bernard to visit Zimbabwe to promote the image of The Spectator.
