Presidential puzzle

Sir: I was surprised to read in Anthony Mockler's otherwise excellent article ('The "Little Man" ', 15 September) that Presi- dent Giscard d'Estaing was one of the Heads of State who attended President Nasser's funeral. Nasser died in 1970, but Giscard did not become President until 1974. Michael Grenfell 20 Ivanhoe Drive, Harrow, Middlesex
