To the editor:
There are two major ironies Carol Ianonne did not note in her article about Woody Allen. One is that Mia Farrow had once been herself “fresher fare†to an older man, Andre Previn, which precipitated his wife’s nervous breakdown.
The other is that so many women who have been reluctant to forgive the filmmaker for his misconduct seem positively eager to forgive President Clinton for sins that are at least as vile and made more so by the latter’s hypocritical pose as a champion for women.
