...made them wary of talking to Crimson reporters at all. Hasty editing and headlining also lead to complaints of mischaracterization. Most recently, Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz pointed out that a story in which he denied representing Radovan Karadzic ran with the headline "Dershowitz May Defend Serb Leader Karadzic."
