...instances of victimology are so ludicrous. Two men hiding in a New York City subway tunnel were burned when they accidentally touched an electrified rail; a jury threw $13 million at them. The city is appealing the award. Joel Steinberg, the wife beater and child abuser who was convicted in New York City in 1989 of the battering death of his six-year-old illegally adopted daughter Lisa, told the court, "I'm a victim, as was everyone else who knew Lisa...
Carlene Carter: I Fell in Love (Reprise). A world-beater album sung by a woman whose voice, with its leathery delicacy, can handle tunes of hard traveling and wrong-turn loving with equal finesse. If country music is still a man's game, Carter is effortlessly bending the rules...

The eye was so inflamed that at one point she joked that she dare not appear in public in support of her husband because "then they'll say he was a wife beater as well." When Lee Hart finally arrived in New Hampshire Wednesday afternoon, her husband took ten minutes off to go to her hotel room. His first words to her: "Hi, babe." At dinner that night, campaign officials discussed buying 30 minutes of TV time to get Hart's story across...
