Your silhouette of John Gilligan was a well-deserved salute to a hard-fighting Ohioan. Unfortunately, Mr. Geoghegan seems to have felt the need to built up Mr. Gilligan by tearing down his Republican opponent, the now Senator William Saxbe of Ohio. Lest your readers be misled into believing that last year's Senate race was really between "a liberal dove candidate named John Gilligan" and a 'non-entity" (Saxbe) running a multimillion dollar demogogic campaign against "arson and rape," and "Ohio's Red Threat" (Gilligan), I would like to state the following facts...

His two sons died sordid deaths, one a suicide (after killing his girl friend's husband), the other from pneumonia contracted during a drinking bout. His daughter saw him so seldom that...
...Alphonso Taft was Attorney General in the Cabinet of fellow Ohioan Ulysses S. Grant, and Patrick Gilligan, recently arrived in Cincinnati from Ireland's Sligo County, began a mortuary business. Cincinnati's Taft dynasty in succeeding generations occupied an ever more commanding role in the Republican Party and U.S. politics. The Gilligans also prospered in their chosen field...
