As reported in a newsletter for business communicators ---

******

[Penthouse Magazine] announces a new column about men's rights.
"Men are the true minority," the writer of the column is quoted
as having said.  "They are treated unfairly in employment
situations and in education because women shout discrimination."
That stuff may go down well with the undersexed readers of Penthouse,
but two recent books show that men are treated quite well on one
important occasion: when they kill women.  In *The Von Bulow
Affair*, William Wright describes how supporters made a hero
of Von Bulow as soon as he was convicted of murdering his wife.
Similarly, in an earlier book, *The Killing of Bonnie Garland*,
Willard Gaylin wonders why the public gave such impassioned
support to the young Yale graduate who killed his girlfriend
by bashing her head with a hammer.  Penthouse has not yet
carried excerpts of either book
