THOSE WHO MAY CARE December 20, 1995: Tidings of Joy for the Holidays

************************************************************************** * Bad wife! Bad wife! [Warning: Not for the timid] * ************************************************************************** Associated Press, Boston -- Richard Rosenthal, a senior financial officer for John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. in Boston, was charged with tearing out his wife's heart and lungs and impaling them on a stake in a fight about overcooked ziti. His wife, 34, had been slit with a butcher knife from her throat to her navel, and her organs had been placed on an 18-inch stake in a nearby garden. Her face also had been pummeled with a softball-size rock, leaving her so disfigured that she was listed as "Jane Doe" on Rosenthal's arrest report. Investigators said Rosenthal, 40, told them his wife had chided him for burningthe ziti. "I had an argument. ... I overcooked the ziti," they quoted Rosenthal as saying. The couple had no history of violence and neither had a criminal record, police said. Neighbor Pat Moody said the Rosenthals lived in the house for about two years and described them as "new people who kept to themselves." ************************************************************************** * Why you don't want to postpone that "talk" with your daughters... * ************************************************************************** News of the Weird -- Barry A. Briskman, 59, was sentenced to 20 years this September in North Hollywood, California, for his "inexplicably" successful seduction of two 13-year-old girls. According to the prosecutor, Briskman had convinced the girls he was an alien form the planet Cablell, sent to Earth to recruit a team of beautiful, super- intelligent girls for a female dominated utopia headed by Queen Hiternia, who was temporarily based atop the Tropicana hotel in Las Vegas. For their trip through space, Briskman told the girls he would have to immunize them vaginally until their "IRF" counts reached 100, and following each sex session, he telephoned the "Andrak 4000" computer to report the latest infusion and to get a readout of how many more IRF's each girl needed. Briskman is presently in prison for demonstrating similar skills on a 12-year-old. ************************************************************************** * Planning Ahead * ************************************************************************** It's nice to see that young couples are now taking marriage seriously and properly planning ahead in the times.
