Women behave like women even in their crimes, says 88 | politic Pp lows article im the current issue of the magazine University Woman of Fairleigh Dickenson University, She murders in a manner consistent with her role in today's society--and that's about as consistent as you can get. The article, by Patricia Tur- ner of the magazine staff and Charles Siegel, a sociology stu- dent, is included in the publica- tion's over-all look at The Ills of Modern Woman.
