Bob Packwood

Why does Susan Estrich (Opinion, July 16) seem to express wonder that the enthusiastically pro-choice Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.) has treated women so badly? As a former bartender who has spoken with thousands of men, I observed that many of the guys who were most adamantly pro-choice were playboy jerks who viewed abortion as a way of not taking responsibility for their own evil behavior toward women.

In response to “Public Hearings on Packwood--and Clinton,” Column Right, by Susan Carpenter MacMillan, July 19: There is a major difference. Packwood is being accused of actions unbecoming a senator, Clarence Thomas was undergoing confirmation hearings, and Bill Clinton was not President of the United States.
If this woman, whoever she is, still has a beef against Clinton, take it up with him when he leaves office. He is a duly elected official with an obligation to serve, and until someone has proof of malfeasance in office, shut up.
