Dear Editor:


Re: James Q. Wilson's review of Robert Kaiser's "So Damn Much Money" ("Is Washington for Sale?" Jan. 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,

Donald J. Boudreaux
