as Calero rose to speak. He jumped onto the podium, but Harvard University Police apprehended him before he could reach Calero.
Laub said that he tried to attack Calero for political reasons. "INCAR was committed to shutting Calero down. Many people made various efforts to get in. I was one of the people who was able to," he said. "Calero's a facist and he's one of the the principal players in organizing and lobbying for aid from the U.S. Congress."
Laub said that INCAR was hoping to "mobilize opposition and empower students in universities across the nation to follow suit."
"These people [the contras] seem to be on top of the world, but they had a blow when they weren't able to espouse their views at Harvard Law School last week," Laub said.
Law School administrators did not allow Calero to begin his speech, which had already been moved from its original location in Austin Hall's Ames Court Room to Langdell Hall because of a bomb scare.
Students from the Harvard Law School Republicans (HLSR), cosponsor of the event, said that they and Calero himself wanted the event to continue as planned after Laub's attack. HLSR officials said yesterday that they hoped to reschedule the speech, but that they had not yet spoken to Law School officials.
