In response to:
Mousiness from the June 8, 2006 issue
To the Editors:
In a recent issue [NYR, June 8] Garry Wills, reviewing my book Manliness, and thinking to annoy me, closed with the cheap gibe that I am a mouse, not a man. Since he wants me to worry about my manliness, and manly men do not elaborate, I will tell him without explanation that his review was full of clumsy errors. Your intelligent readers will find them easily.

Garry Wills replies:
Chest-beating as argument. How manly.
