The second sentence says . that the Congressman has made 31 trips to foreign count tries in the past 15 years.

Aren’t those called junkets? Doesn’t the money for ‘ those trips come out of the public treasury and from special interests?

If one figures conservatively that a trip to a foreign country (air fare, meals, hotels) will cost about $4,000, it looks to me as if Mr. Wolf has taken $124,000 worth of trips that were paid for by ) somebody else.

Now there’s a humanitarian for you. But there’s more. Your story says: “His commitment to human rights extends to his family.”

Gee, I bet he’s nice to his • dog, too. No doubt he is a decent man, after all the voters of this district keep sending him back to Congress. Without disputing a single assertion in your story about Mr. Wolf, I still have to wonder.

Don’t these kinds of stories belong on your editorial page? Or is it advertising? *
