Parody of Paul

From Mary L. Dugan

Sir: Diabolically clever of you, following Craig Brown's article ('Cherie Blair ate my words', 27 November) with another by him 'A woman's life-history is written in her handbag grunge', but under Paul Johnson's name (And another thing, 27 November). 1 wonder how many of your readers caught the joke.
