 	Short version: while on stage getting an award, Harlan squeezed 
Connie Willis's breast. This was not a pre-arranged stunt.

This is apparently video of the event (What can I say? What I do involves 
text so I am on dial up):

This is Harlan's first pass at an apology, as copied to my live journal:

And later, after four days of harsh words, he amended this slightly:

Sorry for pointing people to my LJ but I do link to Harlan's site. It's 
just that it's a badly designed site from the POV of pointing out specific 
sections.
