THE OLD RELIABLES

Sir, - Whatever happened to your old reliable letter writers? Sunk without a trace. Too pretentious, too predictable? Too peacock? Too wordy? Too intoxicated with own verbosity?

Was there a change of agenda? A new broom? If the latter, the bristles seem to have worn too thin for a clean sweep. - Yours, etc.,

J.P. DUGGAN,
