Conspicuous Exception Sirs: Permit me to call to your attention an error in TIME, Jan. 6, which does serious injustice to The Times (London). On p. 34 TIME has picture of Jon Lindbergh under which is printed "The London Times spread him over two columns."

This illustration (see cut) was meant to correct the comfortable error of many Britons who are wont to speak of "the pendulum" of votes swinging alternately to Right and Left but always tending to subside in the Middle. This error is fostered by the British polling system which traditionally operates to keep the distribution...
