Sir, I had hoped it was a temporary aberration, so I held off writing to you earlier. But now to my horror I am beginning to think that we have a permanent problem on our hands. The moment has perhaps come to put in my tuppence worth. I am referring, of course, to those hideous drawings with which you have replaced the photographs of your columnists. The slightly quizzical human faces that have stared at us down the years have become unrecognisable haggard creatures, broken in spirit, perhaps, by their years spent toiling over hot newsprint. Have they acquiesced in this exposure of their disintegration? If not, please could we have their lovely, well worn, friendly faces back again? -Yours etc.
