- Peter Canellos: 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.
- Peter Canellos: Yeah, I think that attorney is a bit of a crank, and the Church dismissed the claim.
- Eileen McNamara: [Indignantly] He-said, she-said.
- Marty Baron: Whether Mr Garabedian is a "crank" or not, he says he has documents that prove that the Cardinal knew.
- Ben Bradlee Jr.: As I understand it, 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, at the very least, we have to go through those documents.
- Peter Canellos: How would you like to do that?
- Marty Baron: Well, 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.
