Fresh news made daily
I had a horribly unproductive weekend. It was over 90 degrees, far to hot to not have air conditioning, so I basically spent almost all of my energy trying to keep cool. It was not my idea of fun.
The paper had an amazing story Sunday by investigative reporter Bill Morlin. It was a massive 100+ incher on a pedophile ring in Spokane in the '70s, which also involved several close acquaintances of embattled mayor Jim West and tied together the allegations of abuse aimed at the local Boy Scouts, Catholic Church, Morningstar Ranch and Sheriff's Office into one big knot of inter-related pedophilia. A scintillating story about horrible stuff. There was some initial skepticism about the length of the story, and as one editor correctly noted, "Yeah it's 100 inches, but it will read like 40." So it did, so it did.
