Likely you weren’t reading the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal at the time. Dorothy Rabinowitz got interested in the Wee Care Nursery School case working as a television commentator in New Jersey, and earned a reputation that impressed the WSJ editors.That got her a gig there as a columnist, and she wrote blistering Op-eds about the Amirault prosecution. And about the similar prosecution in Wenatchee, Washington.
True...never read the Wall Street Journal.
