Kudos for that accomplishment went to David Ropeik at WCVB-TV, the city’s ABC affiliate.On January 10 Ropeik aired an interview with an old high school buddy of Chuck’s. Although the man appeared on the air, his identification was camouflaged electronically and his name was not divulged. The man said he had gotten a call from Chuck the previous September, which was a surprise because he had not heard from him in years. Chuck said he and Carol wanted the man and his wife to have dinner together. The man said he and his wife went and had a good time. A few days later Chuck called him again and asked him to have dinner with him alone. After they had eaten and were walking back to their cars, the man said Chuck started telling him about how he was tired of being married to Carol and how things were just going to get worse now that they were going to have a baby. “That’s going to give her the upper hand in our relationship,” Chuck allegedly said, “and I can’t stand that.” Chuck said that Carol had refused to have an abortion, so he was going to be saddled with both a wife and a child, neither of which he wanted.
