...object strenuously to the heading "The Coronation of King Richard" [Aug. 28] and to the cartoon that goes with it. This is not reporting, but ridicule and insult. I object also to the story on the Republican Convention because of a continual tone, or undertone, of ridicule and criticism.

The holdup man insists that the word is "gun"; the teller consults higher authorities, thereby spiking the heist. Even Allen's penmanship, it turns out, is masochistic. Occasionally...
