Sir, - A. Leavy (July 20th), supports the position mooted by John Waters (July 9th), that there is a valid case for a total ban on opinion polls. This statement is made on the basis that "opinion polls are powerful tools in the formation and manipulation of public opinion". So too are newspapers, books radio broadcasts, T.V programmes etc. I seem to remember a chap in another country who tried to stifle such "opinion formers", when he came to power in 1933.
Adolf something was it? - Yours, etc.,
