I couldn't address a priest except as Father, leaving all my usual orneriness aside, when I saw the collar. Although the gulf grew between my life and the institutional church I still attended, it never occurred to me that I was no longer a Catholic. I was a sinner--that much I knew. But the church...
...four major networks will air at least 18 hours a week of police shows. That's more hours than Fox airs in prime time all week, and 6 1/2 more than last fall.

As with any number of stories this year involving Harvard and controversy, the media took the story and ran with it, except this time it was already amplified by its Sept. 11 context. Yasin, Levey and Galper were featured on various talk shows and in reports, and The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe all filed stories...
