Two very big breaking-news stories were featured on the front page of the Times today: "Jackson Trial: Doctor Guilty in Star's Death" and "Penn State Criticized in Abuse Inquiry." The story about Michael Jackon's doctor has been a heavily discussed and debated issue in the news since Jackson's death, it has seemed. It seems fitting that this story began with a delayed lead, describing the doctor's effects on Jackson. This article gave important and interesting details of a very long and public trial.
The other news-breaking story is about a sexual abuse scandal at Penn State that seems to have been going on since the late '90s. It seems unbelievable that the administration would try to cover up, or at least fail to report, numerous incidences such as these. University administration is supposed to concerned about its students, more than its reputation or staff. I thought the picture in the B section with the article that showed the student sitting on the steps with a sign calling for the resignation of the university president shows that the entire student body is upset over this situation, as they all should be.
