There's a lesson in Paterno's downfall, but few will heed it - CBSSports.com - Ray Ratto - This is the disconnect that led to the nightmare at Penn State -- the notion that there were people who were above even the laws of human decency. - That's why Joe Paterno finished his career in such misery. Because nobody would be his conscience when his own failed him, and the fear of upending the system was greater than the rage of housing an alleged child molester. That comes from power being accumulated without being measured, and that is not only Penn State's legacy.
