S1R,—Mr. John Osborne is an Angry Young Hum- bug. He

has made his name and fortune by rejecting and deriding the conventions of our society. It is illogical for him to invoke those standards when he does not like what has been written about him.

Personally I feel it is carrying the demands of good taste too far to expect reporters to interview people blindfolded. I agree that they should not peer into other people's desks-1 didn't. Mr. Osborne, it appears, is a great boy for having it both ways.
