Columnist goes into a spin

I WRITE in response to Margaret Browne’s letter (July 2) about the heartlessness of Terry Prone’s column on the subject of cancer (June 29).

As a keen observer of Ms Prone’s columns, may I offer these observations to Ms Browne and others who may have been similarly offended?

For a long time I have had the conviction that the clue to reading Terry Prone is first of all to ask yourself what she is spinning this week because if you look carefully behind all the bon mots, bonhomie and funny stories, she is always spinning something.
