3. I AM PUZZLED BY THE QUOTATION ASCRIBED TO ME IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE EDITORIAL. I AM NOT AWARE OF EVER HAVING USED IT. I AVOID THE WORD (QUOTE) CONVERGENCE (UNQUOTE) AND WOULD NEVER USE IT IN THE CONTEXT ALLEGED. ARE YOU IN A POSITION TO ASK THE TIMES WHERE THEY GOT IT FROM? IF NOT, I AM INCLINED TO ASK DIS TO WRITE TO THE EDITOR TO INQUIRE.
