To the editors:
Re Crimson Wisdom (Nov. 6): you gave Hillary Rodham Clinton a "down arrow" because the candidates she stumped for in Illinois and Massachusetts failed to win their elections. But you failed to mention that it was perhaps due to her efforts that Chuck Schumer in New York managed to knock off Senator Pothole, AI D'Amato and Barbara Boxer was re-elected in California. And what about all the House candidates she campaigned for? Do you even have an inkling as to how they performed in the election? Given the outcome of the election, it's safe to assume that they did pretty darn well.
Perhaps next time, before you rush to criticize Mrs. Clinton, you will consider all the facts. Giving her a "down arrow" based on the results of two elections where the candidates had their own serious flaws is hardly warranted and demonstrates a remarkable lack of editorial judgment. MICHAEL O'MARY '99-'00 Nov. 6, 1998
