Shame—shame—shame. In the July/ August “Correspondence” column you refer to Fala’s “Scotch soul.” You obviously used a license, poetic or otherwise, since you are certainly aware that “Scotch” is only a whisky, and nothing more, while the souls of Scotland are Scots, Scottish, or Scotsmen. Next you will be telling us the Forbes tartan is a nice “plaid”!

Editor’s note : It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt and not the editor who committed this particular solecism.
