Congressman Beilenson

Beilenson is correct when he states that “nobody is paying much attention.” He can ignore his constituents’ wishes and make a mockery out of a civilized town meeting, while boasting to The Times that he could never lose an election.
Beilenson hardly represents the people in his district, but he does represent the arrogant snobbery that is at the root of the House of Representatives’ ethical problems. Perhaps if more people paid attention, Beilenson and others like him would be out of a job.
