Sirs: I am one subscriber who has no fault to find with TIME : your idiosyncrasies sometimes irritate my personal taste, as those of other people do; just as mine no doubt irritate theirs-life is like that, thank God ; the world would be a dusty place if all tastes were alike. De gustibus non disputandum. One of the most entertaining features of your magazine is the uproar of people who insist upon disputanding other people's gustibusses.
