What I do doubt is the sincerity of all the apologisers: it is too easy to be sorry for the sins of one\u2019s ancestors. I\u2019d take the handwringing of Linda Nicholls, for example, more seriously if, as CEO of the ACoC industry, she accepted responsibility for the numerous current<\/em> sex scandals in her organisation and resigned.
