No. 503: Curtain-call

COMPETITION

Set by J. M. Crooks: The playwright John Mortimer has complained that people like bank clerks and lawyers do not have to face regular criticism of their life's work. Since criticism of such people might obviously be of value, write a review of the work of your dentist, dust- man, stockbroker or anyone else whose work is not normally subject to public scrutiny. Entries, marked 'Competition No. 503,' should not exceed 150 words and must be in by 10 June.
