Rachel Wilkerson's letter, "Style icons prevalent in American culture today" (SN 1/19), unwittingly embodies the very lack of class and style Beth Swanson bemoans in her article "Columnist seeks 'Old Hollywood' style in Golden Globes' attendees" (SN 1/17). The old-world style and pedigree Audrey Hepburn epitomized transcends mere apparel. It's an attitude, called class, that Ms. Wilkerson would do well to heed herself by refraining from tacky, personal lambastes on the author's style and intelligence in place of respectful, reasoned disagreement.
