After the Event
Sir:
That was an interesting piece in your Nov. 17 issue about British and European coverage of the U.S. election I have been startled by some letters to me from readers of the Daily Mail of London. There are people in the United Kingdom who apparently believe that President-elect Eisenhower will be sitting down with Senator Joseph McCarthy, walking down Michigan Boulevard with Colonel McCormick, and hanging on every word of Senator Robert Alphonso Taft.
Anyway, some of us here are trying to persuade our readers in Britain and the Commonwealth to get the election result in proper perspective. And not all of us went overboard in forecasting victory for Adlai Stevenson. Rene MacColl, of the Daily Express, certainly did not; and one week before the election, my column in the Daily Mail and its syndicated newspapers said: "I now have a hunch, if not a deep conviction, that Eisenhower is going to win this election . . ."

Cory's Baby
Sir:
Critics—in the Nov. 10 Letters column —of Joyce Gary's Romance had better not make laws about the gyrations of babies by the observation of a selected group.
We are the parents of three very dynamic children who respond to normal stimuli with expected actions.' None of them learned to turn over from back to front before crawling . . .

Sir:
. . . J. Hatch should know better than to make any set rules for babies: "All can roll off their backs before they can crawl." The only rule which experience taught this mama is that all babies are different.
