The Republican technique, therefore is to falsely label the matter under consideration, and then attack the false label.

Fairness
questioned
I read with interest your front page article on Senator Robb's planned meal with the "lunch bunch". This was a great public interest story for the first two short paragraphs. |
The remainder of the article (over three quarters) belonged on the editorial page of your paper.
I trust in the name of fairness you will do the same political favor for George Allen.
