Wow! ƒucking wow!!

You just tied Jerry Sandusky to the entire U.S.'s lack of a technological manufacturing base in only four sentences.

Well, two sentences and two sentence fragments...

This is being reported in several places, some with editorial comments.
There are also discussions that Paterno was (indirectly) the basis for this track of communications,
but there are several arguing he was not.

The CNN report cites an email from Schultz to Curley on Feb. 26, 2001,
16 days after graduate assistant Mike McQueary told Paterno about the shower assault.
Schultz suggests bringing the allegation to the attention of Sandusky,
Sandusky's charity and the Department of Welfare, which investigates suspected child abuse, according to the report.

But the next night, Curley sent an email to Spanier, saying that after thinking about it more and talking to Paterno,
he was "uncomfortable" with that plan and wanted to work with Sandusky before contacting authorities, the report said.

If Sandusky is cooperative, Curley's email said, "we would work with him.
.... If not, we do not have a choice and will inform the two groups," according to the report.

Spanier wrote back and agreed with that approach,
calling it a "humane and a reasonable way to proceed,
according to the report. But he also worried about the consequences.
"The only downside for us is if message isn't `heard' and acted upon
and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it,
but that can be assessed down the road," the email said, according to CNN.

I guess we are now "down the road"
