Sir, - At our kitchen table in Boleybeg, Barna, my three-year-old son stood on a chair and painted. When he was done, I asked him to explain his abstract canvas. Pointing to the big black X, he said: "That's a missile. And here" - showing me the small, primitive dashes of colour that were randomly dotted across the page - "they're the bombs." - Yours, etc.,
Mary P. Wilkinson, Boleybeg, Barna, Co Galway.
