Sir, – I note with interest Vincent Allen's complaint about atheists and vegetarians (April 16th).
I am neither but my wife is both. I feel obliged to point out that she is a wonderful woman and delightful company! – Yours, etc,

England.
Sir, – Unlike Vincent Allen, I believe a meat-eating theist and vegetarian atheist would enjoy some stimulating conversation and maybe even a little understanding of each other’s point of view during a long bus or train journey.
Intolerance is a trait most often ascribed by intolerant people to ideas or discussions with which they disagree. – Yours, etc,
