HAYSTACKS AND NEEDLES SIR,—Tut, tut! How' could Strix slip so
badly? He thinks he is merely letting his imagination run riot in supposing that bright young historians might be set to collect data about the British reaction to the BBC's loss of its television monopoly !
In point of fact,- one of my students, Dr. Burton Paulu, did just what Strix thought ought to be done. He collected all the material on this strange episode in the social history of Britain and published some. ,120 large printed pages on, the matter. The book was published last year under the title British Broad- casting and is distributed in this country by. the Oxford University Press. Strix undoubtedly has plenty of spare time and might find it enlightening • and amusing to dip into this work.—Yours faithfully,
