Baby Readers

In my review of “The Golden Gate” (The Book Review, April 6), I quoted Vikram Seth on babies:

Some think them cuddly, cute, and curvative.

Keep them, I say. Good luck to you;

No doubt you used to be one too.

The Times printed:

Some think them cuddly, cute, and curvative.

Keep them, I say. Good luck to you;

No doubt you need to be one too.

The integrity of Seth’s text aside, this is the last thing your readers need. X. J. KENNEDY
