To the Editor:
  Despite an eight-year habit of capitulating to the Executive,
Congress too has a role in bringing us good government. America has
voted for change, and that doesn't apply only to the White House.
Until we separate campaigning from fund-raising our laws will always
favor the wealthy. Until we change our seniority rules, power will
reside with the oldest members of congress, rather than the most
competent. No one can seriously argue that the system we have is
working. This upheaval is the opportunity to build a more perfect
union for the future.
Barry Levine
