    If anyone is interested in a book-length read on the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, read She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. They are the New York Times journalists that broke the Weinstein story, and the book details the difficulty they had in getting women to go on the record against him despite there being so many of them with corroborating stories. It reads very much like a modern All the President's Men, and it will make your stomach churn and your heart sink when you learn the details of how Weinstein has preyed upon women with impunity for decades. This verdict is certainly vindicating, but it is so little and so late in relation to the magnitude and duration of his conduct.
