Paul Burke Quotes:

  • Marty Baron: Did everyone read Eileen McNamara's column this weekend?

    Boston Globe Worker: That's the Geoghan case?

    Marty Baron: Yeah, what's the follow on that?

    Ben Bradlee Jr.: It-It's a column, what kind of follow are you thinking?

    Marty Baron: Uh... well apparently this priest molested kids in 6 different parishes over the last 30 years and the attorney for the victims, a Mr...

    Eileen McNamara: Garabedian

    Marty Baron: Thanks Eileen, Mr Garabedian says Cardinal Law found out about it 15 years ago and did nothing.

    Paul Burke: Yeah, I think that attorney is a bit of a crank, and The Church dismissed the claim.

    Eileen McNamara: He-said she-said.

    Marty Baron: Whether Mr Garabedian is a 'crank' or not, he says he has documents that prove that Cardinal knew.

    Ben Bradlee Jr.: As I understand that those documents are under seal.

    Marty Baron: Okay, but the fact remains a Boston priest abused 80 kids, we have a lawyer who says he can prove Law knew about it and we've written all of... uh... 2 stories in the last 6 months. This strikes me as an essential story to a local paper, I think the very least we have to go through those documents.

    Paul Burke: How would you like to do that?

    Marty Baron: Oh uh, I don't know what the laws are here, but in Florida we would go to court.

    Ben Bradlee Jr.: You wanna sue the Church?

    Marty Baron: Technically we wouldn't sue the Church, we'd file a motion to lift the seal on the documents.

    Ben Bradlee Jr.: The Church will read that as us suing them. So will everybody else.

    Marty Baron: Good to know.
