Your otherwise judicious article on Rumania published in the Nov. 13 issue, is terribly defiled by certain low remarks against that country's dynasty. In my opinion those insinuations are old lies invented by cunning foreign propagandists and used time and again to discredit a country that in spite of its precarious geographic position and much diplomatic pressure from abroad, has done more than any other small Central European state to further the cause of democracy and social justice...
