Don I could not agree more. McQueary has stated to friends that he did intervene- now that is hearsay but it is being reported. Just like the other stuff that is "from an unnamed source close to the investigation who was not authorized to speak publically". I'm wondering why any of us actually put much credence in "leaks" from "unnamed sources" when we so carefully and explicitly expect our students to learn and practice critical thinking. (Grumbling is one of my talents!!) What is being alleged is indeed tragic and monstrously so. . . if it is true (perhaps some know more than others but most of what is being reported is directly from the prosecutor and/or sports reporters- at least what I have seen/heard from my too busy cocoon of office to home and back!). I honestly think there are enough documented cases of bystander apathy (and pluralistic ignorance, etc.) without resorting to ones that are speculative. Just my 2-cents though. Tim

Sandusky claims that they were just "horsing around". The media have clearly convicted the coach but I prefer to wait for the court to make a determination. -Don. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
