The evil that men do

Sir: Please may I make it clear that the mis- spelling of `Vorkuta' in my last week's review of Solzhenitsyn (and in the context of my own complaints against someone else's inaccuracy)_ was not due to inaccuracy on my own part, but to the fact that pressure• of time made it im- possible for you to send me proofs of this part of my review.
