Madam, - The half-page report in your "World News" pages (January 9th) under the headline "Sarkozy hints at marriage but won't name date" is strong stuff.
Your more sensitive readers - among whom I find myself - will hardly get through all of it. At the end of the first column, where M. Sarkozy was reported being seen with Mlle Bruni in Disneyland, my courage deserted me.
A report of M. Sarkozy's love-life deserves - if any mention at all - a couple of inches at the side of the page in the "In Short" column. - Yours, etc,
JOSEPH BYRNE, Willow Park, Ennis, Co Clare.
