Thanks for that link, Stephen.  

Maybe now that the hysteria is dying down, we'll see some more good 
old fashioned 'reporting'.

Many people seem to assume that not only is the grand jury report the Gospel 
truth, but it is the complete story.  

Worth noting in this ESPN article is the comment that grand jury reports 
often leave out some details.  And it isn't out of the question for the 
report to have some inaccuracies in it, either.  (As I recall, it is 
ultimately up to a jury to decide what the facts are.)

Those of us who attended Northwestern when Bergen Evans was teaching there 
may reflect back on what Bergen always had to say about the Bible.  His 
annual lecture on 'Satire, or Jonah and the Whale' always packed Tech 
Auditorium.   (I wonder if NU ever recorded his lectures?)

BTW, though Governor Corbett is apparently an ex-officio member of the 
Penn State Board of Trustees, last Friday's meeting was said to be the 
first he had attended.  I suspect it has been a while since ANY Governor of
Pennsylvania had attended one.  One wonders if he will attend the next one.  
I wouldn't bet on it.
