SIR - Are we facing the Apocalypse? Are the Four Horsemen about to ride?
The threat of Nemesis is four-pronged. We have the virtual collapse of law and order in Britain and in many other lands. Political and religious fanatics may be able to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction.
We are threatened by pestilence on a scale not seen since the mid-14th Century. Finally, but by no means least, the Third Rock from the Sun, its very self, is in the throes of cyclical change, which could wipe out the primary species, together with all the other countless forms of fauna and flora thereon.
Yet people are obsessed with trivia. They think only of regionalism and its supposedly undesirable implications.
D E MARGRETT,
Worcester.
