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 ****** Reprinted (without permission, of course) from the Ragan Report, September 26, 1983. Carl Blesch AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, Ill.

Unless you are implying that the mens rights group supports murdering women your article seems pointless. What do you mean? Not Involved In "Men's Rights", Nor a Reader of Penthouse, Joseph Weinstein
