...College rules and state laws, a brawl erupted at the D.U. final club between a football recruit and club members. High school senior John Burnham, who sustained a blow-out fracture on his left eye in the fight, never should have been at the club. Moreover, the subsequent hush-up of the incident again suggests that College officials prefer minimizing publicity to exacting appropriate punishments from blameworthy students...

According to a well-placed church insider, over the past quarter-century, at least five U.S. Catholic bishops were accused of sexual involvement with boys under 18. In each instance the bishop was deemed guilty by officialdom, called on the carpet but not removed from his post. Information about each case was restricted to a small circle of church officials in Rome and the U.S. Today the hierarchy can still resist suggestions to learn more about pedophilia.
