Letter: Tornados

Sir: You carried a picture (6 May) of some of the devastation that tornadoes wreaked across Oklahoma, with a death toll in the mid-40s. On the opposite page, adult Oklahomans (not a child to be seen) were pictured in a frenzy trying to buy Star Wars toys for a film which has yet to open. As Homer Simpson might observe, "Hmmm. America."
