A recent editorial I only heard the last parts of broadcast on
WBBM in Chicago quoted a figure for wife beatings of one (1)
beating every 18 seconds somewhere in the United States.
Does anyone know if this is the result of some study which
has been published or merely the pencil and paper thinking
of some radio wcript writer.
