...that burden chafes became even more evident to the prize winning journalists soon after their four-part series on the topic debuted two weeks ago. "We've received at least a dozen very substantial tips and examples from people around the country who are very passionate about this dilemma and felt no one else was listening," says Barlett. "It's a measure of how strongly people feel about this subject." In addition to pleasing readers, the series has garnered favorable attention from other media outlets. On its editorial page the Boston Herald wrote, "This could refocus the spotlight...
