WE apologise to those readers and adver- tisers who may

have tried to telephone the Spectator on Thursday or Friday of last week. Building works severed our tele- phone lines, and British Telecom took more than a day to visit us at all, and more than a further day to remedy the fault. We are particularly sorry to have baulked those wishing to say how much they liked the Spectator's new design.
