Subject: RE: BS: Paterno - Penn State Football Coach
I am not at all surprised about the university officials. I know how some are. I keep being surprised by McQueary...even if initially frozen or paniced, not to go back and look for the boy or call the police..I don't get it. But I do not think, like some have speculated, that he made some decision to essentially blackmail the university in return for a good job...I just can't imagine where his instincts were at the time...and I think most men, and I think perhaps more than most women, have the instinct to fight someone destroying the life of a child. Have we made men into beaurocrats and taken away their natural protective instincts? I think quite likely. mg
