Fresh

Sir: Is the new plastic wrapping on our Spectator to try to preserve it for consump- tion up to a week after publication? The week before last's came last Wednesday (it was stale) and last week's is still not here (it will have gone off completely). Could we please go back to brown paper and have it fresh? Post tres saepe dies vilescit pisms et. . . Spectator?
