CLARIFICATION

David Harrington Iannuzzi writes: ``There are two things plaguing American politics: celebrity figures, who draw attention away from important issues (i.e., Ross Perot and Rush Limbaugh) and American apathy toward politics.

The point I was trying to make was not clear in the version of my letter published Oct. 8. I deplore both celebrity politics and public apathy.'' by CNB
