Sir, - Donall O Morain asks (June 9th), in the context of De Valera's biographers and Kevin Myers's view thereon, "how low are the depths of human insensitivity or perverted jocularity?" I can tell him that they are the same distance down that arrogance, pomposity and self-importance are up and that in between the two is a place called earth. This is the second time that I've attempted to bring Mr O Morain back down to there. - Yours, etc.,
John Newman, Dublin 11.
