The Steyn line

From Mr Frederic Lamond Sir: I am glad that Mark Steyn ('Why I nearly resigned', 26 April) decided against resigning from The Spectator. His articles provide a unique insight into the overweening arrogance of the Cheney–Rumsfeld–Wolfowitz–Perle axis and the other neocons, whose loathsome and dangerous opinions he seems to share. But he expresses them with such wit and elegance that his articles are always the first to which I turn when The Spectator arrives. They set my adrenalin flowing and keep me young.
