    What's the real dynasty?

    Dear Editor,

    It is interesting that the author brings up the question of a two family oligarchy running the White House for 24 years. But if you look at the last fifty five years, with the exception of 1964, the Republican ticket has featured a Nixon, Dole or Bush in every election since 1952. While I am not suggesting any bias in this particular article, I find it odd that the media never seem to worry about republican dynasties, and the generally listless administration of Bush Senior was never raised as an issue for Bush junior to contend with; in fact it was touted as a bonus that the young lad had such an experienced family to call upon on.

    Sincerely,

    Kevin Hill
