    An incredible story.

    http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-reardon0601.artjun01,0,482019,full.story

    A Hartford Courant reporter, as a 13-year-old boy in 1970, was abused by a local doctor, who it turns out may have abused more than 500 children. It is absolutely mind-boggling.

    This all started because a contractor working on the now-deceased doctor's house tore apart a wall, only to find a stash of pornographic slides and films hidden behind it.

    I thought this was going to be a takeoff on Nightowl's tread.

    That's an incredible story -- from every aspect. And it really took some guts.
