The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMarty Baron's first morning meeting at the Boston Globe starts with names and baseball. Then he asks about a weekend column: a priest who molested children, sealed documents, and a lawyer who says Cardinal Law knew and did nothing. Some in the room call the lawyer a crank and the story he-said-she-said. Baron wants the papers unsealed. His colleagues hear something else: you want to sue the Church? On day one, a local story becomes a declaration of war.
