HARRY SHEARER

Good Lord! Don’t you read Harry Shearer? One week after he provides insight into the horrors of perfume (“Making a Stink,” Oct. 13), I get hit with a surprise allergy attack and the weapon is none other than a fragranced page in The Times itself. I’m only amazed that you didn’t put the stinky stuff on the page facing “Man Bites Town.”
