Letter of the day

From Globe and Mail: (H/T Norman's Spectator)

This just in?

I was greatly relieved to unfold The Globe and Mail and see Diana, Princess of Wales on the front page (Conspiracy Theory Deflated In Death Of Faded Idol Diana -- Aug. 26). Clearly, all important problems of world violence, poverty and hunger must have been solved if a report about a 1997 car accident is a leading story in Canada's national newspaper.

I can only hope that in future you will find some way to mention both Diana and Karla Homolka in a news story, thereby combining the ultimate in pointless celebrity obsession and horror.

RICHARD AKERMAN, Ottawa


Why not the Cecilia Zhang murder cover-up? You have been holding it down for too long, I guess.
