Clean Slate

 

I was disappointed to learn from "Spy Versus Spy" (Insider, July) that Magic Slate does not plan to "Capitolize" on its recent notoriety.

Consider, if you will, disclosures at the congressional Iran-Contra hearings. Instead of investing in costly paper, notepads, pens, and shredders, the executive branch could simply have used Magic Slates for its myriad memorandums and meeting minutes. A bureaucrat's dream come true!
