Hollywood and Washington

In answer to Nina J. Easton’s question, “What Could Hollywood and D.C. Possibly Have in Common?” (March 24): Well for one thing, a lack of creativity. For others, fiscal irresponsibility and moral ineptitude. And Easton’s favorite: public detachment. As the saying goes, two wrongs don’t make a right. Both sides need to get their acts together before the whole country goes to hell with them.

Easton is a terrific writer. We enjoyed her piece on the common, shaky ground that Hollywood and Washington share. Her style is fluid, astute and familiar.

“Aha,” we thought. “Nina Easton is the author of ‘Primary Colors.’ ” Please let us know, Nina. We promise we won’t tell.
