Sir: As the regular contributor who writes the only predictably
boring and uninfor- mative column in a magazine that otherwise becomes ever more sparkling, Richard In- grams may have much to be modest about. But it seems a pity he should allow this Modesty to deprive readers of the pleasure of reading his own entry in Who's Who.
For those who would like a glimpse into the many-sided life of a Modern Renais- sance Man, I append extracts omitted by the retiring Mr Ingrams: 'INGRAMS, Richard Reid: Editor Private Eye, since 1963 ... Joined Private Eye 1962. Publications (with Christopher Booker and William Rush- ton) Private Eye on London, 1962; Private Eye's Romantic England, 1963;
