Re "Kashmir Could Ignite a Cataclysm," Commentary, June 15: I was amazed at the blatant anti-Muslim sentiment Bruce Herschensohn displayed. He did not mention at all the root cause of the Kashmir problem and the various U.N. resolutions regarding the issue. Rather, Herschensohn named one Muslim country after another in an attempt to show how they all are or will rally behind Pakistan in case of a war. This is far from the truth. Many of the Middle Eastern countries have remained neutral about this matter.

One can only hope Bruce Herschensohn's Column Right of April 1, "Cigarettes Today, Burgers Tomorrow," was an April Fool's attempt at humor. The comparison of the health problems linked to cigarette smoking and those due to dietary indiscretion trivializes the multiple diseases attributable to cigarette smoking. Aside from the 20% of cardiovascular deaths attributable to cigarette smoking, 80% of emphysema and 30% of cancer deaths are also attributable to cigarettes. This does not include the increased incidence of peptic ulcer disease, decreased exercise tolerance and increased incidence of osteoporosis seen in cigarette smokers.

Herschensohn said he has been encouraged by Orange County Republican leaders as well as his onetime employer, former President Richard M. Nixon, to seek a congressional seat in Newport Beach expected to be left vacant when Rep. Christopher Cox enters the 1994 U.

While last-minute tax filers crammed local post offices on Tax Day, hundreds of others vented their frustrations at a protest and sought an alternative tax system at a conference. More than 200 people Thursday attended a one-day "flat tax" conference in Irvine, headlined by conservative Bruce Herschensohn, who lost to Democrat Barbara Boxer in their recent U.S. Senate race.
