LITTER

SIR,—I have long thought that an undue love of the parenthesis was apt to mislead Taper into writing a disorderly sentence, but I should never have con- sidered him a disorderly thinker. If, however, he really believes that the right to make a litter is to be equated with the fundamental freedoms he goes on to mention in his 'Westminster Commentary' of January 23, I shall have to revise my opinion.—Yours faithfully,
