SIR,—I am not a Fashion Consultant, I am not a
Project Co-ordinator, I can spell, I did know' Mr. Cyril Ray had left the Sunday Times, I do know he lives in Islington (he was surprised once that I did know), I kneW he didn't write on wine when on the Sunday Times, I have never spoken to him on the telephone, I have written to him, I have never pestered him when he was writing an article (as an old newspaperman I know the folly of that!), I hope I have always been helpful to him.
Now there are many more PR people (not execu- tives!) like myself who do a worthwhile job for their clients and, we trust, do what we can to help journalists.
Could you please Write something about us for a change? Why! even Miss Whitehorn has thanked us for our help!—Yours faithfully, MARK STONE Mark Stone Ltd., Press and Public Relations, 5a Hanover Court, Hanover Street, WI [Cyril Ray writes: `Mr. Stone is, indeed, a most helpful and courteous PR man, and he does not badger one on the telephone. But why does he want us to write about PR men who do their job properly? Because they are the exception?'—Editor, Spectator.]
