[UA] 1957 time capsule secretly altered in early 1980s

[John Tynes]

A time capsule at the University of Washington from 1957 was opened  
this week. Sometime in the early 1980s, the time capsule was somehow  
opened and new, rather peculiar items added -- soiled underwear, a  
copy of Playboy, and perhaps most intriguingly, "an unopened letter  
to Linda Ronstadt". Plus, the Nuge.

Altering a time capsule seems like an attempt to alter history. Did  
someone earn a major charge for pulling this off?
