To the Editors:
In response to Hemant Joshi's rant ("A Conservative's Lament," Jan. 6), I have to wonder whether or not his statements were satirical and sarcastic, or, if as it seems with each passing glance, they were sincere and legitimate stances? If the latter, it speaks volumes of his ignorance and bigotry, and as a true conservative and a proud Republican, I am deeply ashamed that such an individual would offer himself as any spokesman for the right wing. Furthermore, it astonishes me that four years of education at Dartmouth have not broadened Joshi's horizons; they most certainly did for me.
