Hetherington is editor of The Guardian.

Hetherington comments on Schoenman's various letters about human rights abuses in African states, and the published criticisms by readers of the newspaper. Hetherington notes that "each side has had its say twice. I don't think we can profitably carry the correspondence further." The implication is that Schoenman's letter of Aug. 17 will not be published; see record 66877.
