An LSE letter

Sir : Having followed, in some bewilderment, recent events at the Lse, I read with eagerness the letter from Messrs Bateson and Blackburn (16 May) hoping that this would clarify the situation. As I pursued my object, however, it became clear to me that the phraseology and diction of the epistle were not unfamiliar. I am wondering whether either of the two gentlemen in question hold posts on the Peking Review?
