Lectured in Moscow

Sir: Your Portrait of the Week (21 Febru- ary) is in one respect badly drawn. In Moscow the other day we were none of us lectured by Soviet 'cultural workers'. I had the boring experience of being lectured by several English and Americans, an Egyp- tian, an Italian, an Ethiopian — I don't remember a single 'Soviet cultural worker'. Poor people, they had to listen to us. Graham Greene
