Sir, - Members of the Orange Order in Northern Ireland, particularly the Portadown lodge, should note that in both the print and visual media here in the United States they are more and more often being mentioned on the same page and in the same breath as the so-called "land reform" gangs of Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe.
Furthermore, whatever goodwill and sympathy they had from the sensible, thinking American citizen seems to have been lost irrevocably. - Yours, etc.,
Seamus M. Scanlon, 10th Avenue, San Francisco, USA.
