It was sometime in 1976. Two
policemen, a rookie and a veteran officer, gathered at Boston police
station. They were discussing the arrest of a Catholic priest on charge
of molestation of children. A high ranking clerk was talking to the
mother of the children in the police station. The assistant district
attorney then entered the police station and told the cops not to let
the press get wind of what happened. When the rookie remarked how it
would be difficult to keep the press away during the arraignment, the
veteran scoffed and sarcastically asked "what arraignment?"
