HALL OF FAME ENTRY

In Scott Chernoff’s important revelation of Robert Hilburn’s computer spreadsheet system (Letters, Nov. 17), one of the critic’s hardest-working superlatives was missing. The word, as all Hilburn readers know, is “accessible.”

Chernoff’s omission no doubt was inadvertent. He should be commended for giving us the Hilburn-o-Matic. Chernoff is really, really brilliant with sugar on top.
