Hicks Ignores Relationship of Health and Homelessness

To the editors:

I would like to comment on the unsophisticated level of scholarship displayed by George W. Hicks in his recent piece, "Change We Could Use" (Column, Oct. 1).

Hicks writes, "And speaking of not making sense: an obese beggar? Am I missing something here? It is a combination as foreign as a keg-standing priest or a thought-provoking Core section." He appears terribly eager to display his ignorance regarding the prevalence of obesity among the poor.
