Mr. Berdan’s otherwise fascinating article about a little-known place (“Spice by the Sea,” Sept. 19) is marred in paragraph two by a misstatement. The Portuguese did not “leave peaceably” in 1961. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, the dictator of Portugal, ordered armed resistance to any Indian incursion, and the fact that little blood was shed in the Indian invasion doesn’t make for leaving peaceably.
