Of Royal Chromosomes

You owe Japan's princess Masako an apology for reporting that she "failed in her one traditional duty: to produce a male heir" [Sept. 18], as if that were actually within her control. The only failure here is in your demeaning statement that this is her one traditional duty and in forgetting that it was her husband Prince Naruhito who determined the sex of their child, a daughter. Blame him!
