Sir, – May I commend Keith Duggan on his articles marking America’s 250th anniversary celebration planned for this year. His writing strongly evokes the feeling of travelling through the USat this point in time. Doing a road trip through multiple American states has been on my bucket list for a while but now I plan on postponing it for at least another two and a half years for obvious reasons. Being able to experience through his quality of writing what such a trip must be like enables me to wait for the real thing a bit longer. -Yours, etc,KEITH PHELAN,Ovens,Co Cork.
