Letter: In Brief

Sir: It is good to see the Devil getting a makeover at last - both by the Vatican and in your Review section (28 January).

God has hogged the headlines with stunning success in recent decades. Is the Almighty white or black? Bearded or clean-shaven? Male, female or neither? The Devil, though, while probably still hanging on to the best tunes, has lost out in the publicity stakes until now. The current interest - and biography no less - should make her extremely proud of herself.
