Letter: How about ‘Chloroform in print’?

We all know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is behind the times. With all this name changing, we know they have reached 1984.
So, to Robert Kirbys' question as to what to retitle the "Book of Mormon," may I suggest as Mark Twain referred to it: "Chloroform in print."
