Madam, - Tom McCarthy's column in your edition of March 1st was the perfect start to spring - elegant, fizzing with gentle mischief and, above all, appreciative of everyday life.
Note to other columnists: intelligence is not necessarily denoted by modern angst, criticism of contemporary society and affronted bleating. - Yours, etc,
DÁIRE O'BRIEN, Seabury Vale, Malahide, Co Dublin.
