...addition, an article ran reporting that someone had placed a swastika on the door of a Peninsula staffer seemingly in response to Kaufman's editorial. This student, Jose M. Padilla '97, threatened a lawsuit against The Crimson, explaining that he had had no part in the article and should not have been held accountable for it. A final letter to the editor by Robin S. Goldstein '98 commended Kaufman for his attack on Peninsula...

You want to talk about the discrimination that exists in the criminal justice system, you call it a "genocide." You disagree with someone's brand of politics, you affix the Nazi swastika to his or her door--that seems to be the name of the game...
