Just as The Crimson had profiled Viswanathan and reviewed “Opal Mehta,” so too did we have the obligation to cover this aspect of the story. For us to withhold what we knew would have been egregiously irresponsible to Viswanathan’s readers, as well as to McCafferty and her readers.That said, we did recognize the uniqueness and sensitivity of the story, and we took special precautions to ensure we handled...
