LETTERS, Page 8Barney Frank's Problems
Democrat or Republican, homosexual or heterosexual,
Representative Barney Frank acted wrongly (NATION, Sept. 25). Stop
making him the victim. He knew exactly what he was doing when he
paid male prostitute Steve Gobie $80. I certainly cannot respect
Frank or take him seriously. Let's hope the people of Massachusetts
can't either.

It is interesting that you referred to Senator Edward Brooke's
divorce proceedings and 1978 re-election defeat in your story on
Representative Frank. I served as Brooke's press secretary during
that period. His divorce was particularly nasty, and the resulting
publicity hurt his re-election campaign. While others were
distancing themselves from Brooke, Frank was supportive and urged
that he be judged on his record. I can only hope that
Representative Frank is accorded the kind of compassion and
understanding he sought for my old boss.
