Table talk

Sir: Sir Denis Brogan's long article in your issue of 8 November can be reduced to two simple points.

1. People who are not personally involved in the bitter controversies of their times are 'in- trinsically bad historians.' So much for the objectivity of history.

2. I should not be allowed to 'get away with it' on television by interviewers who are fair enough to allow me to speak for myself after thirty years of attack without any right of reply. If Sir Denis Brogan really thinks it so easy to annihilate me on television, let him try. Some viewers might find the process sufficiently divert- ing to justify a programme on one of the media.
