Those crazed enough to want senatorial dolls are paying the price. A reader writes to complain that his Jeffords figurine stalked out of the house and went to live with the people across the road. Meanwhile, I am told that the ‘Harry Truman’s vice president’ action figure had to be withdrawn as no one could remember its name.

On a more serious point, please note that any Reagan dolls must be kept clear from Bob the Builder. Bob’s always building walls, and the Reagan keeps wanting to tear them down.
