    Yesterday was the first Sunday mass for local Catholics since retired Cardinal Mahony was reprimanded and relieved of "public duties" by his successor, Archbishop José Gomez. Gomez called child abuse by priests "evil" and said covering up showed a "terrible failure." Will Mahony's good works — and his political and social impact — survive his public humiliation? On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the New York Times is just one of the major American news agencies reportedly being hacked from China. How does that happen? Who does it put at risk? Does the US have the moral authority to take any action? Also, when the lights went off at the Super Bowl, where was CBS News?
