Editor's note, August 31, 2007

An apology
August 29, 2007 1:22:40 PM
Our cover story of June 20, by Adam Reilly, reported on obsessive levels of hate some Red Sox fans generate over Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy. The article included a highly offensive reference to his wife, published by an irresponsible sports blogger. Dr. Shaughnessy is both a mother of three children and highly regarded psychologist practicing in her hometown of Newton. The slur should never have been written or repeated, and the following week the paper carried an apology for having republished it in the Reilly article. We are sorry for any distress or embarrassment caused to Dr. Shaughnessy.
COMMENTS

If you are going to apologize, quit the mush-mouth and apologize. You admit the crime without serving the time. Your apology should have ended this way, which included a little two-letter word: We are sorry for any distress or embarrassment WE caused to Dr. Shaughnessy. Take full responsibility.
