Turning over a new leaf

Sir, – Have you signed The Irish Times up to Operation Transformation? Of late, the paper is certainly losing a great deal of what you seem to regard as "excess weight". We have recently lost "Irish Roots", "Doonesbury", and "What's On". Have you now reached your intended target, or have you still some way to go? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I wonder is my favourite newspaper trying to tell me something by moving the crosswords to the page with the death notices? – Yours, etc,
