Thank you, pinksequins. No, I don't think we have the whole story as yet. And I would imagine that all parties are pretty much lawyered up at this point and are saying what their lawyers are counseling them to say publicly. Nor do we know what pressures were brought to bear and from where on Rolling Stone to issue its retraction. Or the effect that this kind of trauma would have on an individual's capacity to remember exactly what happened to her. None of this is all black or all white by a long shot.

And honorgirl, no one is being "gullible", in your words, in seeing all these shades of gray in this very complex situation.

Nor do I think the Greek community can issue a collective "exhale" over the more recent Rolling Stone statements.
