Bernie Fitzgerald, chief of probation in Dorchester District Court, managed to keep his unit on the up and up even while the statewide Probation Department fell into a morass of corruption. Fitzgerald is retiring after 41 years of giving both his staff and his probationers the protection and freedom they needed to succeed.

Wow. Praising a chief probation officer. I'm surprised even the Globe would stoop this low. I don't even know Mr. Fitzgerald and think it is reasonable to assume he is a hack, just like most of the probation officers. Only question is why he would retire from this job? Perhaps someone paid him a year's salary to get the sinecure?
I guess that rules you out.
