Fathers and sons
Sir: Would someone please suggest to Sir Denis Brogan that perhaps he might make a resolution for the New Year to restrain himself from incessant name-dropping in his articles for the SPECTATOR. We, the regular readers of the journal, are by now fully aware of what an important fellow he is and in what exalted circles he moves. We do not need to be reminded as we were in your issue of 3 January that he knows many of the 'rich establishment families' or that he is staying with yet another 'rich' Catholic family.
From now on we can assume, unless stated to the contrary, that Sir Denis always meets rich, important, influential, talented people who hold or have held high offices in government, 'important' universities, fore- most manufacturing industries or in the leading professions. Sir Denis has made his point.
