• My abiding memory of Larry Hagman was when at the height of his 'Dallas' fame in the early 1980s, one of Dublin's great 'Mad Men', Don O'Connell of Doherty Advertising, which had the Health Education Bureau account at the time, persuaded Mr Hagman to appear in one of the most memorable and effective anti-smoking commercials.

Readers will recall the humour of this TV spot when his beautiful dining partner lit a cigarette at the restaurant table and Larry produced one of those novel mini-fans and placed it in front of her.

Bruton article hit nail on the head

Madam – I write to offer a complimentary word to Willie Kealy on a quite superb article published on your front page (Sunday Independent, May 12, 2013). I find it uplifting, not to say encouraging, when a journalist hits the nail on the head, particularly when the target is one of our careerist elitist politicians. Another of your journalists, Gene Kerrigan, writes with laser-like accuracy in this regard. None fits the target bill better than the subject of your piece last week, Mr Bruton.
