In Brief

Sir: Friday's paper, after reporting on page 9 the fuss caused by the Earl of Wessex's comments on the way the British press attacks successful entrepreneurs, followed up on page 11 with a report that the biggest brothel-keeper of whom Scotland Yard had heard was rewarded for his initiative by a three-year prison sentence. One wonders if Prince Edward's theatrical productions were ever so popular with the public.
