Recalls White: "It's been a couple of years since so many nasty letters ended up on my desk.

Many of the campaigners represent 100 or so fringe organizations of the right or left that have not the remotest chance of winning. Among them: the Fancy Dress Party, the Dog Lovers' Party,* the Ecology Party and Actress Vanessa Redgrave's Workers' Revolutionary Party.
