Frazier Choice Brings Questions At PSU

Frazier Choice Brings Questions At PSU  — The Penn State  Board of Trustees’s choice of Kenneth Frazier to head its investigation is, well, interesting.

Frazier, whose assignment was announced Nov. 12, is the CEO of Merck & Co, the major pharmaceutical corporation headquartered in Whitehouse Station, N.J.

Does Frazier have any experience investigating crime? Does he have a history of pursuing dark evidence down twisting alleys to whatever truth  leads?

No. He does, however, have a track record of winning liability lawsuits. He made his bones at Merck generally successfully defending the company during the Vioxx lawsuits.

So if minimizing exposure — i.e. keeping things hidden — is the goal, Frazier might be the guy.

If the Board really does want to get the institution it directs back into the public’s trust perhaps it should reconsider Frazier’s appointment and see if Frank Keating is available.

Keating is the former Oklahoma governor, one-time FBI agent and practicing Catholic who chaired  the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops‘ National Review Board examining sex abuse by Catholic Priests, much to the dismay of those who hired him hoping for a tame investigator.

Penn State, it should be noted, is not governed by the state. It is considered a “state-related” university and the state, while it provides about 10 percent of its funding, has no direct control over it. Only 10 of the 32 members of the Board of Trustees that run it are government officials or appointees of the governor.

Frazier, who received his undergraduate degree in political science  from Penn State in 1975, is a member of the Board.

Frazier graduated from Harvard Law School in 1978.

For my friends with any concerns about new world orders, he is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Merck, by the way, has been a consistent donor to Jerry Sandusky’s The Second Mile being among the many  giving between $1,000 and $10,000 annually from at least 2006 through 2009.

Just a warning, but the last two links are to pdf files.

Penn State Scandal May Actually Get Worse

Pittsburgh sports-talk radio host Mark Madden is reporting that one-time Nittany Lion heir-apparent football coach Jerry Sandusky was pimping  the disadvantaged young boys from his Second Mile Foundation to rich folk in exchange for donations to the Foundation.

He made the revelations on this morning’s (Nov. 10) Dennis & Callahan Morning Show in Boston.

Madden has a track record. He reported in April on the then-unbelievable ugly events that were just revealed to have occurred in Happy Valley.

If you want to see the names of some very prominent people who are likely to have very red faces here is The Second Mile Honorary Board of Directors.

Yes, that’s Andy Reid on there along with Dick Vermeil   and Arnold Palmer and a whole lot of sports figures and prominent corporate titans.

One suspects that people are going to start being a lot more careful as to what they let their names get associated with.

Will this be the matter that gets Joe Paterno in the dock? Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly, who one would think is more in the loop than Madden, has  said that Paterno is not a target  of the investigation into how the school handled the
accusations.

Maybe she is fudging on any unrevealed events but one would be surprised to see JoePa criminally implicated in anything.

And she has refused to say that just-fired University President
Graham Spanier is not a target.

I’m sorry to see JoePa go but I can’t say the same about Spanier who has ruined what had been a great school.

Say what you want, Spanier did put Penn State on the map. It’s pretty neat trick for a university president to get his school world-wide headlines for two separate scandals.

Defense Of The Philadelphia Church

Defense Of The Philadelphia Church — Three Catholic priests and a teacher charged with molesting boys in the late 1990s have inspired a new round of Catholic bashing and dumped new chum in the water for the circling lawyers who feed on such things.

Also facing charges is a church administrator who stands accused of not taking the steps required to protect children.

All well and appropriate but a statement in the grand jury report implying that the Philadelphia Archdiocese remains indifferent, and even tolerant, of these predators  spawned opportunities throughout the nation for strident headlines and faux outrage by those always looking to put the Church in a bad light.

One has yet to see addressed the point that if the reforms by the Archdiocese were ineffective why aren’t there any cases newer than 11 years old?

In the 1970s, cynical predators knowing full well that the sheep are always defenseless against the sheepdog sneaked into respected institutions ranging from the Boy Scouts, to the Catholic Church, to Protestant churches, to universities, to government offices, to  the ACLU, fully protected by a media that proclaimed only the traditional can be perverse.

Scandal and tragedy have caused the BSA and the churches to get their houses in order, often with the old media putting haranguing obstacles in their path.

The others, well, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank and the late Ted Kennedy remain lionized political figures. The ACLU case happened only a few short years ago in 2007.

And what goes on in our universities is pointedly ignored by the old media.

The Catholic Church is a very good thing. The city, state and nation would be far worse off if it should disappear.

But fear not, because it’s not despite the strongest wishes of some. The scandal and the attacks are only going to make it stronger.

French Culture And American Schools

Under no circumstances should one say c’est la vie  regarding what has become of French culture and what President Obama seems willing to do to American Schools.

French Culture Minister Frédéric Mitterrand wrote a book in 2005 in which he described how he paid for sex with boys during a trip to Thailand.  The revelations came to light after Mitterrand condemned the arrest of pervert filmmaker Roman Polanski.

Meanwhile, in Washington, it has now become known that Kevin Jennings, Obama’s assistant deputy secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools is just fine with the North American Man-Boy Love Association.
