In response to Jonah Goldberg’s column (“Stay tuned for sequel: Revenge of the Clintons,” Aug. 17), I was born in Georgia and encountered a number of “Clintonesque” individuals before accepting a faculty position to come north to MIT in 1962. Goldberg has pegged the phony characters who masquerade under the misnomer of “public servants.” They are a scourge on the public character. Keep up the good work, Jonah.
