Letter: Letter: Infallible

Published 29 February 1992

From POTNEY ONGO

Storm Dunlop imputes fallibility to Ariadne (Letters, 8 February). But
surely she (who gave Theseus his vital clue) is, as always, right. Of course
our constant companion, the Moon, is a planet. If the Earth suddenly disappeared,
the Moon would presumably continue to circle the Sun.
