Re: President for a Day Article (March 28/89)

In the above article you report
Jacqueline Gresko as saying she
telephoned the Library for a
portrait of Margaret Thatcher
but "the Library could only
come up with a portrait of
Queen Victoria."

Saying that a Librarian cannot
find a portrait of a world figure
is like saying a biologist cannot
distinguish between insectivores
and ruminants (i.e. between bon-

historian doesn’t know what
happened in 1066.

The librarians at Douglas Col-
lege Library have asked me to
write to assure the College com-

Margaret Thatcher’s portrait, in
fact, many different portraits of
Margaret Thatcher. Such easy

questions are the daily grist in

“can you find me a portrait of
Tammy Faye Bakker without
makeup?"
