Torres allegedly stole items from Harvard's Fine Arts Library, Widener Library and the Frances Loeb Library of the School of Design, according to Harvard University Police (HUPD) Sergeant Richard W. Mederos, in a Jan. 31 article in the Crimson...
...soldiers and generals alike were dumbfounded last week when McKinney's former public relations aide, retired Sergeant Major Brenda Hoster, charged that McKinney had sexually harassed her. McKinney serves in one of the Army's most revered posts and is supposed to be the role model and champion of the service's 410,000 enlisted men and women. His office is situated in the Pentagon's prestigious E-Ring, right across the hall from General Dennis Reimer, the four-star Army Chief of Staff. The Army denied the charges on McKinney's behalf, and has no plans to dump...
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.

"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.

Hoster told TIME last week that McKinney called her in May 1995 and, even though he didn't know her well, asked her to be his p.r. adviser. Within weeks of taking the job, Hoster says, his "Jekyll and Hyde behavior"--personable and professional in public, enraged and profane in private--turned her life into "a living hell." Things only got worse in March when Zuberi...
