To the Editors of The Crimson:
The growing sex scandal on Capital Hill is but the tip of the Washington iceberg.

When the Watergate scandal rocked the Republican Administration, a Special Prosecutor was appointed to bring the offenders to justice.
The Democrat-controlled Congress clearly has failed to police itself. Therefore, we should demand that a Special Prosecutor again be appointed, in this case to investigate and prosecute Congressional wrongdoing, and thereby to clean House. Steve Nelson
