New York Magazine features 35 women who accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault

The cover story of this week's New York Magazine took six months to put together, but it packs a doozy of a punch:

The magazine interviewed all 35 women separately, letting each tell her story while also examining why nobody seemed to believe them for, in some cases, decades. Since New York published the splashy cover and accompanying story on Sunday afternoon, the magazine's site has been "experiencing technical difficulties." But if you can't read the article (yet), New York has been posting excerpts to its Twitter and Instagram feeds. One example:

New York published its interviews with the 35 accusers on the same day that The New York Times reported that Spelman College, a traditionally black women's college with close ties to Bill and Camille Cosby, has formally terminated its professorship endowed by the Cosbys and returned the money to the related foundation.
