I read Andrew Solomon’s piece “Against the Wall” (Review, 17 September) with interest and much agreement. But I cannot be the only reader to note the absence of any mention of the Israeli wall, which by any definition encapsulates all of the points he makes about the political, social, cultural and personal negativities of these structures in any civilised society.

• Disappointing that your coverage of the opening of the National Museum of African American History in Washington (Report, 16 September) failed to mention the architect, whose own African origins played an interesting role in the evolution of the building. His name is David Adjaye, for other bemused readers.

• Any chance us oldies might be given a job glossary with Blind Date (Weekend, 17 September)? I think I’ve got what a PR executive is, but what’s a school evaluation coordinator, and might it explain why the lady is so graceless in her evaluation of the chap?

• It might have been eminent psychotherapist Joseph Zinker who said (of psychotherapists): “If you find yourself forming a hypothesis, lie down in a darkened room until it passes” (Letters, 15 September). While l believe psychotherapist Steven Walker may have a point about David Cameron’s fragile ego, it can’t be called “the truth”.

• Some text to go in here relating to a reader’s letter concerning the number of times some text to go in here appears alongside Guardian photos. Could be a quote or a caption. May I suggest “Grauniad strikes again!”

• I wish somebody would come up with a polite universal hand gesture which means “please stop using your mobile phone while you are driving” (Opinion, 16 September). Any suggestions?
