Joshua Kaufman's column ("Naming Names: Peninsula's Fascists," Opinion, October 15, 1996) defamed my character and my name, calling me a "fascist" and "fool". Kaufman encouraged members of the Harvard community to "let [me] know how they feel" and the following day I found a swastika on my suite door. Although the column has put my safety in jeopardy, The Crimson refuses to print a letter of apology for its irresponsible handling of this incident, and Mr. Kaufman has never even made an attempt to speak to me. Please assist me in clearing my name by contacting The Crimson's president, Todd F. Braunstein '97 of Eliot House, and asking him to print a letter of apology and to make a statement about Kaufman's inaccurate and irresponsible column. --Jose M. Padilla '97
