PRO BONO--AND NOT
Faye Fiore’s article, “The First 100 Days, Babe” (April 23), seemed like an attempt to smear Rep. Sonny Bono (R-Palm Springs), a hard-working congressman who really tries to speak for his constituents. What Congress needs is not another bright lawyer but is a tough businessman like Bono, a young and eager representative to help rein in out-of-control spending, fight foolish projects that eat up billions of dollars, speak up against an ineffective foreign policy and work to reduce a debt burden that staggers even the experts.

After a long day at the office, I listened to a friend read aloud to me your feature on Sonny Bono. I couldn’t stop laughing--boy, what a release. In my short political life, I have never had to admit to anything more embarrassing than “Sonny Bono is my congressman.”

Last night I read a Steven King novel and slept like a baby. This morning I read your story on Sonny Bono; I’ll be having nightmares for weeks.
