Last January, Jack C. Patterson '88--a starting safety on the team--made a racist phone call to a Black attendant at the Currier House bells desk. The student had already been the victim of an earlier physical attack: four students had shattered a Currier window with an orange...
...self-described victim of Harvard Real Estate (HRE) no longer lives in Cambridge. He lived in a rent controled, Harvard-owned apartment until the University sold the place to a faculty member. Since it was then owner-occupied, the rent tripled and Tom had to retreat to Brookline. Touring the streets of his urban gallery, Tom greets HRE trucks with a faint call, "Hey there, remember...
Sociz ("Johnny") Junatanov, who worked in his father's restaurant, hired a thug in 1985 to kill his father.

We fail to see justification for the Ad Board's division of the three actions in terms of the racial implications involved. For the Ad Board to deemphasize even one part of the whole act of racial harassment is to make a mockery of its commitment to protecting the interests...
