Sir, - A picture tells a thousand words. The picture which The Irish Times of June 7th chose to illustrate the visit of the Pope to my native country was that of a group of bishops shielding their faces from the down-draught from the landing Papal helicopter. It was an inane picture, telling the reader nothing substantial regarding the Pope's visit. What worries me is the following: would a thousand words of The Irish Times coverage of the event be equally inane? - Yours, etc.,
