LETTERS American chickens
Sir: I certainly endorse the complaints against 'American chickens' (Simon Jenk- ins, 24 May; Letters, 7 June) who are now cancelling their English vacations. If I were Ronald Reagan, I would crank up a grand campaign to encourage American tourism in 'Plucky Little England' who so gallantly supported our proper chastisement of evil Libya. Members of the President's official and biological families as well as Henry Kissinger, Bob Hope and other notables should be pointedly photographed golfing in Scotland, visiting old castles, going to the West End theatre, chatting with Robert Morley, scrawling graffiti on the white cliffs, and doing whatever else one does when visiting your quaint isle. And if Americans fear terrorists disrupting their tour they always can wear Arab head- dresses to fool Abu Nidal's agents.
Unfortunately, considerations which I assure you are unrelated to terrorism or chickenhood will compel me to vacation in New York this August.
