All Together Now

New York magazine has this incredible cover story now online — 35 women who say they were molested by Bill Cosby all appear together on the cover and in a group shot (both probably assembled from multiple photos) and then they tell their tales. It's very sad, especially in that it took so long and the story had to snowball to near-DEFCON levels before they were believed or not advised to just forget about it.

The gang-testimony is very powerful. What I think would have made it more powerful would have been if they'd included photos of the women at the time of the alleged molestation. Some of these incidents were quite a while ago so you have photos of older women, making it easy to forget that a lot of the victims weren't long out of high school. But read it anyway if you can take it. No matter how low your opinion is of Dr. William Henry "Bill" Cosby Jr., this will lower it at least one more notch.
