What a great letter!   You're informative, objective, honest in your point
of
view, and see what is of real value in the work so many have been
criticizing.
Not that I'm a defender of the Ustinov work,  in fact, I wonder that he's
only 78 and seems so debilitated, self-satisfied, and not very open in his
views.
But your letter is a breath of fresh writing.  Cheers!
