Itrides thenews wave likeaprosurfer.The publicity of professional tragedies is inescapable. And when one profession gets the limelight, it never seems to end. The investigative team at The Seattle Timesrevealed scandal in the medical profession in 2001 with their expose on the Fred Hutchinson Medical Center. The report sizzled in the news for several months. More recently, the Catholic church came under fire for its sex scandals constantly appearingacross the nation. News organiza- tions across the country have run thousands of stories on this scandal,and the headlines are still popping up.
