Sir: With reference to your article Where have the Good

Men Gone?, February 3, J. R. Bevins, as anybody who remembers him on a political platform will agree, would be well advised to keep off the subject of bores.

It was necessary for you to point out who J. R. Bevins was. Though he held high office, can anybody remember any useful contribution he ever made to the welfare of the State?

The Prime Minister has little to worry about when his antagonists consists of such people as J. R. Bevins, Enoch Powell, Harold Wilson etc.
