CONCERN FOR THE HOMELESS?

The Post editorial staff must have been snowbound to publish such drivel as "The War Between the Haves and the Have-Nots" by Benjamin J. Stein {op-ed, Feb. 3} .

If the Honorable Mr. Stein was so concerned about the homeless men he saw on his drive home from a dinner party on Capitol Hill, he might have made an effort to take at least one to a shelter or contacted Mitch Snyder.

I wonder whether Hollywood is as "lewdly" lit as the Capitol or as "garishly" illuminated as the White House|

A final note: since when are the comments of a "highly placed woman" at a dinner party (with drinks, I'm sure) taken seriously enough to be published?

Please -- no more twaddle. WALTER L. ERHARDT Alexandria
