...former editors, Undergraduate Council Representative Steven Mitby '99. The fact that the Mitby incident occurred on the same day as the imitation poster campaign suggests that these two acts may be the work of a single group or individual. And the fact that Mitby had received a particularly odious e-mail from a board member of the BGLTSA suggests that extremists within the gay rights movement may be responsible for one or more of these vicious attacks. We at Peninsula have fought out battles with the pen, but have been answered with a rhetorical sword. This campaign of ideological genocide...
...second event happened closer to home. An issue of Peninsula magazine, an ultra-conservative campus publication, ran an odious article titled "Know Your Enemy," in which it listed a series of people and organizations it considered hostile to conservative values. In response, a Crimson editorialist wrote a column attacking Peninsula and the members of its staff for holding "fascist," intolerant views.

In addition to the odious attributes of the show's writing, the majority of the actors suffered from overplaying that reached beyond the simply funny and into the realm of the suicide-inspiring...
...Queen Elizabeth. First there's what tabloids have dubbed the Seven Words War between PRINCESS DIANA and her sons' nanny, ALEXANDRA ("TIGGY") LEGGE-BOURKE. At an otherwise perfectly festive staff Christmas party--Prince Charles sprays Silly String on staff members, they dump glitter on him--Diana allegedly made so odious a remark to Tiggy that the nanny's lawyer sent warnings to the press not to repeat it, and the Queen had to be assured that the remark was untrue. Possibly as a result of her lip, Diana's long-term private secretary resigned, followed by his assistant...
