Sir: Lest They Forget Re your footnote comments on Queen Elizabeth's German ancestry | Nov. 1: of German testl are our Eisenhower, Can ada's Diefenbaker. But the Russians are really outdoing us and the English. They fired the Lord Himself and gave the job to the German Karl Marx, who replaced the Bible with Das Kapital.

How thrilling it was to find at last an article on British Columbia which presented just the right pictures with just the right prose ! No other magazine has done it!

TIME Listings
Sir:
I like your new LISTINGS. Why not include top radio programs too? There are still a few of us without an antenna.

Sir:
This is to register one librarian's appreciation of "Best Sellers." To a library in a rural community this means much. It not only keeps the library abreast of what is being read, but is a valuable aid in ordering the newest books.

So Rose the Red
Sir:
TIME, Oct. 27 fell short in measuring Wade Nichols' accomplishments as editor of Redbook Magazine. Every issue of Redbook to date in 1958 has delivered higher circulation than the 2,591,676 that you report as our current figure. Redbook's average total paid circulation in the first six months of this year was 2,689,510.
CHARLES S. THORN Publisher Redbook New York City
¶When TIME'S story went to press, latest Audit Bureau of Circulation figures available listed Redbook's circulation at 2,591,676; a new A.B.C. figure published since then confirms Reader Thorn's 2,689,510.—ED.
Penguin Pie
Sir:
Would you kindly answer the following questions: Are penguins good to eat, and has anyone ever tried to transplant them from the Antarctic to the Arctic?
ELMER G. STILL Livermore, Calif. ¶Although penguins remain unreconstructed Southerners, there is no reason why they should not be happy in the Arctic; gourmets have not commented on the cooked product, but explorers, suffering strictly from hunger, report that it tastes like something between beef and wild duck cooked with stale fish and served with cod-liver oil.—ED.
