Too much politics...

Sir: Nigel Lawson's headline Too much politics, not enough sex' (11 April) marks a change in SPECTATOR policy as welcome as it is overdue. Mr Auberon Waugh's candid reportage and acute moral perceptions would be far better applied to a sexual commentary, while on your front page patient exposition of our rulers' failings should give way to jolly exposures of ladies with nothing to hide. Counter Penthouse's Pet of the Month with the SPECTATOR'S Sport of the Week.

Later, of course, possibly on the occasion of a special Anglo-French solidarity number, you could change the paper's title to the Voyeur.
