Plunket Soc ...

Sir—peter Butler has written criticising my article on the Plun-Ket Medal, making comments about my "reporting"but he seems to have missed the point that the article was just that, and made no pretention to being a "report". Its placing on the features page and not the news page should have conveyed this fact to all but the least observant, but mr Butler's inability to recognise the fact that its intention was humourous would seem to mark him as one of these unfortunates.

His emotive response would seem to indicate that my attempt to poke just the littlest bit of fun at the honourable Debating Society was fully justified.
