Doug Nichols writes: "I'm sure you can imagine my wife's surprise on learning from the April edition of this column that I am a political analyst with the Government Research Corp., and residing in Washington, D.C.

"While recognizing your journalistic need to protect your sources, I can assure you that your description of me is an inoperative one."
