Sir, Your former Washington Correspondent, Conor O'Clery, is to be congratulated for his prediction of a Clinton victory in the US presidential election. He made this unlikely forecast over 18 months ago, when Clinton's prospects were very much in doubt after the Republican gains in the congressional elections of 1994.
Such foresight displays both the gambler's instinct and a shrewd reading of the times. Well done, Conor. (Any tips for the Irish election next year?) - Yours, etc.,
Shamrock Lawn, Douglas, Cork.
