...side from the fact that this action was as useful to campus discourse as throwing kerosene on a fire, there is another twist here; Padilla says he has no ties to the last issue of Peninsula. Although he does admit to being a current member of the magazine, he has mentioned that he has been too busy to work on the publication recently, and therefore should not have been criticized in a signed editorial piece in The Crimson...
Essentially, this appears to be a classic case of irresponsibility on the part of Peninsula, the author of the Peninsula piece and those who tacked up the swastika.

Speaking to TIME, a Kremlin adviser described the scenario they sought to pre-empt by firing Lebed: unrest breaks out, Yeltsin's failing health disables...
