Sir, – Frank McNally was not allowed to take photographs when he visited the border between North and South Korea (An Irishman’s Diary, May 2nd). How fortunate for us it is that there was no need for him to do so. His facility with written language is such that his word pictures always far surpass the effectiveness of anything that can be captured by the very best of image recording devices. – Yours, etc,
SEAMUS McKENNA,
