Changing Geres

THE OPEN LETTER from Hollywood is a wonderful thing. The most recent example to be published in this country was that of Mr and Mrs Richard Gere, who in May announced in the Times their undying love and the solidity of their marriage. It is to be regretted that the Geres' subsequent sepa- ration has prevented them from collaborat- ing with the Hollywood open letter which adorns this issue of The Spectator.
