...sexist male nor am I into macho chic, neither do I harass women because they are weak or merely available. As I am not an extreme or extraordinary person, I cannot help but believe that there are more like me who are guilty only because we are males. As a member of the Harvard community, I apologize for the behavior of our police toward you, Ms. Sharp, but I cannot apologize for the fact that men, and these detectives in particular, did not act as you would have, so it seems, a "well-trained" male act.

Since racism was implied in the letter to The Crimson and also in The Crimson article, as editor of WIN NEWS, I must state it is both racist and sexist to continue to hush up the facts.

Although we do not care what happens in the privacy of individual's homes, we object strongly to public display of women performing sexual services. This kind of public portrayal of women in necessarily demeaning (no equivalent depiction is ever seen of mennor should there be). While it may be legal to cloak pornography under the guise of advertising, it is morally irresponsible and in poor taste to do so. Society has the moral right...
