Life of Brian
Sir: Having noted in this morning's publica- tion of the dissolution Honours List the elevation of Sir Ian Gilmour and Nigel Lawson, the first being the financial saviour of The Spectator, the second a celebrated editor of The Spectator, is it not time for recognition of the man who really put The Spectator into the forefront of weekly mag- azines, namely Brian Inglis?
Add to this his own literary output; Poverty and the Industrial Revolution and
LETTERS
the Parnell Papers are among the most informative books of our times. His work as a presenter of television programmes such as What the Papers Say and All Our Yester- days puts him in the same echelon as the late great John Grierson and is sadly unequalled in the present day.
Today he quietly goes about his work for the Koestler Foundation and is one of the leading authorities on the paranormal.
Brian Inglis is an '18-carat gold' human being whose friendship is treasured by many, many people not only in the world of arts and literature but by ordinary human beings such as myself.
