Hoster's accusation could do more damage to the Army's image than the multiple probes now under way of drill sergeants who allegedly assaulted female trainees at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground and other bases. Last week General Reimer told a Senate committee that among those 170 trainers there are "a few bad apples." But Hoster's allegations, if true, suggest a more pervasive rot. "Because of Aberdeen, the non-commissioned officers are the part of the Army under the most scrutiny for sexual harassment," says military sociologist Charles Moskos. "When the sergeant major of the Army...
...between his tenure at the Justice Department and his time at the Cumberland Federal Correctional Institution in Maryland, Hubbell tried to open a little Washington law practice. Almost immediately, work began trickling in. First he was hired by Indonesia's Lippo Group, which reportedly offered him $250,000 a year for work that remains a mystery. Next, at the suggestion of a Democratic fund raiser, the Los Angeles Airport Commission paid him $8,250 a month to lobby the Transportation Department.

In spite of leaders' repeated "zero tolerance" pronouncements--concerning political extremism, racism, sexual harassment and hazing--authorities are just as often forced to acknowledge a breakdown in the chain of command. Last week a sixth soldier at Maryland's Aberdeen training ground was brought up on charges of sexually harassing a trainee, while the Citadel, a military-training school, is in the midst of its own hazing scandal involving female cadets. Blood pinning cannot be written off as the overexcitement of young Marines: one video plainly shows a first lieutenant...
That is exactly what she did, even as she slipped from public view. Madalyn Murray O'Hair's organizational and financial heyday occurred in the mid-'80s. Having worn out her welcome with authorities in Maryland, where she filed her original suit, and then Hawaii, she arrived in Austin in 1965 and established the Society of Separationists, later adding Atheist Centre in America and several satellite groups. By the late '80s, there were eight. Each had a five- or six-person board, and each board was dominated by Madalyn, Jon and Robin (she was Bill's daughter...
