Rehabilitation

Sir: Owing to an unfortunate combination of typing and printing errors two facts in my article (17 January) appeared in garbled form. The population of Voroshilovgrad (Lugansk) is three hundred and seventy thousand, not seventy thousand; and, of course, I served on the Allied Control Com- mission in Hungry in 1946, not 1964.
