...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...

His call has been taken up by coaches, administrators, journalists and the athletes themselves. Some of the more radical proponents of change wonder openly about the possibility of a strike on, say, the eve of the championship game in basketball...
