"Allegations of Abuse Against Jimmy Savile Multiply" - NYTimes.com

I am quite troubled by Mark THOMPSON's quote in the Times that he was unaware that this might be happening. It was his job as head of the BBC to know this and that's what he should have said. And he should have apologized for not doing his job well. What will he not "know about" at the NYT Co and therefore have no responsibility? He is not exhibiting the courage and sense of responsibility that I continue to associate with the NYT Co.
