Your issue of Feb. 2 was filled with as inane a set of letters as I have ever read. 1 am one of an increasing majority who ) find in your terse, sane and interesting paragraphs a thoroughly brilliant commentary on World Affairs...

His philosophies I bow to. His essays seem to me sane and brilliant, while Mr. Menckan seems often to harp on the same rather frayed and always twanging string. Shy, slightly satirical in conversation, remote and difficult to know, Mr. Sherman possesses undoubted charm-but it is the charm of a wielder of intellectual hammerblows, the sly bearer of devastating epigrams...
