Geoghan alone gathered over 130 accusations in his thirty-year career before finally being defrocked in 1998, and yet was only charged and convicted on one single count of indecent assault and battery of a ten-year-old boy. Pilger, after admitting to assaulting three boys, only received probation. It’s insulting to think that a man found guilty of indecently assaulting three young boys and potentially scarring them for life would be let off with probation, regardless of the fact that he’s a priest or in his 70’s. If anything...
...works, Iwata hesitates. "Verbalizing a concept that is entirely new is very difficult," he says. "We hope to rediscover what has been lost between the introduction of video games and now." Earlier in the day, the company had demonstrated one such initiative: a game that connects Game Boy handhelds to the GameCube console, allowing for multi-player action without annoying split screens.

The stakes for Nintendo are high, because Game Boy hardware and software now account for about 60% of the company's annual sales and a similar share of its profits.

Nintendo is sitting on $6 billion in cash and carries no debt, which could provide a war chest with which to outsource a competitive next-generation hardware system. The threats to its Game Boy monopoly are, at this point, hypothetical; and it does have a core excellence in producing seductive software, which makes it (still) one of the largest game publishers in the world...
ITHACA, N.Y.—Dov Grumet-Morris motioned to the small boy sitting in his father’s arms near Harvard’s end of the rink. The boy was wearing Cornell red, as were the surrounding fans, but the Crimson goaltender still gently tossed the puck over the boards as Harvard finished its warm-up. The boy grinned with glee as his father handed him the puck, but a voice interrupted the scene of holiday cheer...
