we once all loved the daintiest petunia, then we found out Penske ghost wrote most of that gold- since then has anyone spoken well of tdp?

Re: Paterno and Penn State
 

Sports records mean less and less, with the various retroactive changes, or ones that should be (hi Barry Bonds and Chinese gymnasts!). Maris got an asterisk, but now it should stand not for 8 extra games but the most home runs by a non-juicer. By the end of next year, 9 of the last 14 winners will be someone other than the person who came in first at the end of the race, and 13 of the last 17 will have been dopers. Countless results from the Olympics have been revised, sometimes several times, years after the fact as doping comes to light. What's the point in transferring the record from a guy who didn't report child abusers to a guy whose players were ensnared in a wide variety of recruiting, benefits, and academic scandals (including that cost Bowden 12 wins)?

just trickin b.

But the silence left the rapist's face on a mural of PSU's most special people outside the student center- say you were 10, would the face being up there say to you that maybe what he is doing is okay?

so some other fuck whose misdeeds are more mundane benefits. ok, but that is fall out from a screwed up situation.

Re: Paterno and Penn State
 

I could point out that you are retreating from your argument now you see the gross over-reaching of your statements, or I could point out that some (e.g., Thurgreed) believe that the wins were, in fact, tainted. But I don't want to hold you back from your talking and your talking, because it's magic and it's precious. It's precious magic. Every. Single. Word.

I believe Eichnann was the first to make this argument, but he did it with more style. No offense.

Looking for a downtown Tcotu hotel rec, boutique maybe. need to be close to subway to BK. point is to check out places for my child to live. Also, "starter" apartment neighborhoods recs in bk or tcotu or even queens appreciated.

Re: Paterno and Penn State
 

at this point, we can't see the records for the asterisks.

Apartment shmartment. You just want to head over to Park Slope looking for Amy Sohn's friends. :D

Re: Paterno and Penn State
 

No way Paterno recruits as well as he did if it got out that he let someone he knew was a pedophile continue to use the PSU athletic facilities for personal purposes. So, stop.

Re: Paterno and Penn State
 

I don't understand how they thought it would never come out and that they didn't realize when it did come out they'd look 10 times worse for covering it up. Hadn't they been paying attention to the priest abuse cases? Did they think he'd somehow magically stop being a pedophile?

I can't give it away on Seventh Avenue.
 

Neither one is a boutique, but I've stayed at the Marriott Financial Center and the Millenium Hilton. Both of them are downtown and close to subways to Brooklyn.

Oh, and walk the Brooklyn Bridge (but don't buy it) and wait in line for a coal oven baked pie at Grimaldi's, then stroll along the promenade in Brooklyn Heights. (Yes, I am a tourist.)

Re: Stuck on Repeats
 

Boutique Downtown: Wall Street Inn 9 S. Williams St.

Brooklyn digs: Try Concord Village, corner of Adams and Tillary, JUST at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, opposite the EDNY Courthiouse, which was rental when I lived there in the stone age but is co-op or condo now; rentals or purchase are both probably available.

Yours in urban living,
