Just the Facts? Please...

To the Editor: Professor Ronald Edsforth raises some very valid points in his Oct. 10 letter to The Dartmouth "Just the Facts, Please." Most notably and simply that his examples "raise doubts about the correctness of the 'strong support' generalization she [reporter Jessica Spradling] used to frame her own story." That being said, I believe the he commits precisely the same offense he criticizes the article for -- the evidence he provides grossly fails to support the conclusions he makes. Edsforth states "Clearly facts like these indicate that public support for the administration is actually quite weak." However the facts he refers to are focused entirely on the Iraq issue.
