Just add Rice

Sir, – I honestly have little or no idea what Maureen Dowd was writing about in her article on Condoleezza Rice et al ("What would Condoleezza Rice have said in speech had she delivered?", World, May 19th).

Her remarks attributed to so many people in a rapid-fire manner just left me with a headache and none the wiser. Undoubtedly she is a clever person, but it might be more useful if she could write an article that gives her own views rather than quoting those of a dozen others, with her incessant name dropping. – Yours, etc,

DAVE KAVANAGH,

Clontarf,
