Posnanski generally gets very close to his subjects, such as Buck O'Neil, with whom he became almost like a grandson. This makes it even more difficult to write a balanced story when something like the Sandusky affair comes to light. I like to think that Paterno was a good man who did the right thing far more than most big-time coaches, but obviously failed when the biggest opportunity to stand tall came before him. It is really a tragic story for everyone, but especially the victims.

Excellent post Ed. I like Joe's writing also.

You could be a writer yourself. Sadly, Joe could have avoided this tradgedy by calling the police. A good man who made one big mistake. My heart goes out to all the victims.
