A new editor at the Boston Globe asks why a column about a priest with dozens of accusers has not become a story, and the paper's four-person investigative unit starts pulling directory listings and settlement records instead of chasing the individual case. The number of priests they are looking for keeps rising. Nothing in it is done by a hero; it is done by people reading lists.
