Dear Editor:
Re James Q. Wilson's review of Robert Kaiser's "So Damn Much Money" ("Is Washington for Sale?" January 18): Why are people continually surprised that successful special-interest-group lobbying happens routinely in Washington? To be shocked by this reality is like being shocked that sex happens in whorehouses.
Sincerely,
