Good clean crime

Sir: Mr Cyril Ray may well be right in thinking the idea of a naval officer with a moustache implausible (7 June), but I can assure him that the name O'Bradovitch, im- probable as it may seem, has an actual existence. Within recent years there was an American professional football player named Ed O'Bradovitch. He was a member, I think, of the Chicago Bears.

A country which has produced a tennis player named Peaches Bartkowicz has no difficulty in accepting an O'Bradovitch.
