Sir, - Your photograph of the Taoiseach on page 3 of Thursday's edition takes some beating for insensitivity. While your paper vividly describes atrocities around the world, particularly in East Timor, our political leader is pictured appearing to to show considerable pleasure in handling some murderous weapon. If he doesn't possess innate good taste, perhaps he could use some of his expenses to employ a spin-doctor who would stop him from showing such bad taste. - Yours, etc.,
Dick O'Rafferty, Ailesbury Grove, Dublin 16.
