...letter from Yale Professor Fred Rodell further castigating the nomination of Judge Clement Haynsworth to the Supreme Court [Sept. 12]: the professor obviously is a man who suffers from frustration.

May I ask that if you insist on quoting from representatives of such institutions you request them to do a little upgrading of their faculties? There are many of us who are not always impressed or intimidated by the Ivy League, and we still appreciate gentlemen who have differing points of view.
