Update: Governor Lynch was down in Exeter today (seacoastonline) checking out the walgreens roof and aside from a bit more flooding I guess nothing too excitingly bad new today.

 Man trouble - Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire prep school sex scandal - Editorial National Review - Find Articles
A SEX SCANDAL has erupted at one of the nation's top prep schools, Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, where Larry Lane Bateman, chairman of the drama department, is alleged to have been seducing boys and making pornographic videos of them.
Bateman's career suggests that plenty of progressive-minded people have been winking at it, or at least have refrained from suspecting it lest they be accused of "homophobia." He took advantage of their lax attitude at every step.
Bateman is exonerated of the current charges, Exeter deserves to pay heavily for its indulgent attitudes-an indulgence all the more odious because accompanied by moral self-congratulation.
