Devoid of distinction

Sir: As a Spectator reader of old I found your article 'Post Mortem of Angela Davis ' (June 17) emptily superficial and devoid of any distinction of thought. It was loosely argued, with little attempt to grapple with the deeper issues involved. Indeed this article had hardly any relation to the type of intellectual journalism you set out for — lacking in its judicious objectivity and treatment of the American judicial system.
