On Nixon

Sir: From the general tone of his writing in The Spectator, Larry Adler would, I am sure, wish to be regarded as liberal.

Could anything be more viciously illiberal than the use of a natural physical characteristic as a term of abuse, as for example, "The bluerinse-and-menopause brigade," written

by Adler in his article last week? I shall be glad to hear that your svornehd readers have torn him limb from Jim' and deposited the pieces on Ycalr doorstep.
