Both waves of rumors were tripped off by a report in the Portland Oregonian that pointed to the specific entry in Packwood's diaries potentially linking him to criminal violations. The account stated that the ethics committee had decided to subpoena the diaries after spotting a reference to questions raised by Packwood during a November 1989 finance subcommittee probe into trade barriers erected by Japanese companies.

Too successfully, perhaps. On the last night of a visit by a WAR lieutenant, three Portland, Oregon, skins beat an Ethiopian student named Mulugeta Seraw to death. The case drew national attention, and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama successfully sued Metzger, winning $12.5 million in damages for Seraw's family...
