WINDOW PAINS

Maureen Sajbel apparently doesn’t offend liberal sensitivities in the slightest when she speaks of condoms on Christmas trees, Margaret Thatcher in drag or Jesse Helms reading Robert Mapplethorpe (“Window Dressing, 90210,” Style, July 24). Such titillation at Christmastime is, as the writer sees it, a “wonderfully offbeat display.” Shame on The Times for printing her vulgar tastes. Whatever happened to discretion?
