Other oddities abound. How can the economy remain prosperous when half the work force lazes around luncheonettes and broadcast studios swapping dirty- word-free double entendres, while the other half consists of overworked and underappreciated cops?

The nightmare of Hedda Nussbaum and her murdered Lisa was the saga of not just another battered wife but a once lovely, once successful, patiently suffering woman who had been possessed by a diabolical...
