Not so special, after all

FFrom Mr T. W. Knight

Sir: Your front-page story (15 March) about Bill Clinton's phone call confirms a theory of mine: that the national style follows that of government. When government is indecisive, so is business; when government is dynamic, so is business. When John Major takes five days to answer a telephone message, so does business.

Yours sincerely,

T. W. KNIGHT
