Ignoring Facts

Robert Gillmore regards the
"Obscene Affluence" of the
Playboy life-style (November 17) as
the exclusive property of
Nixon-Agnew supporters.

Has he ever READ Playboy? Any
casual perusal will reveal that its
editors and the vast majority of the
people who write articles, reviews,
and letters to the editor HATE
Nixon and Agnew and admire
George McGovern, Tom Wicker, the
Fonda kids, Dr. Spock; Nat
Hentoff, William Douglas, Charles
Reich, etc.

The young Republicans I know
all detest Playboy both for its
fashionable materialism and its
fashionable left-liberalism. The
"rich and spoiled brats" aren't
Republicans these days, they're
radicals.

With his line ability to
the most basic facts Mr. Gillmore is
plainly headed for a brilliant and
successful career in advocacy
journalism.
