Sir, - "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke's famous words sum up the main reason for Hitler's rise to power in Germany.
Robert Dunlop's letter (May 8th) in response to Dustin Hoffman's comments on the "glorification of violence" was so excellent that there is nothing one can add.
May I suggest that you print Mr Dunlop's letter again in full and in succession - just like an advertisement in "Social and Personal" so that nobody misses it! Somebody may come up with a constructive idea on how to combat dehumanised behaviour on screen and TV!
In a small country like ours it might be easier to find a positive solution. Yours. etc..
