SIR.—Mr. Randolph Churchill asserts that when he published his unauthorised

biography of Eden. no reviewer accused him of inaccuracy.

The Economist's reviewer at p. 24 of the issue of July 4, 1959; pointed out that Mr. Churchill had got the name of the American Ambassador to Cairo wrong ('Charles' instead of 'Henry' Byroade) and that exactly the same mistake had been made in another secondary source published two and a half years before by the same publisher.
