Okay, cheesy headline once you read the column. Sometimes, I simply cannot resist. I’m beginning to see somewhat of a pattern with my father’s articles. Media circuses, anyone? The Hall-Mills murder case is a prime example. All it takes is a grizzly murder scene (not talking about the bear; stop!), some juicy deception, the infidelity of the pious, and some remarkable beauty. Of course, tossing in some off-color nonsense by way of farm animals also helps …pigs, in particular. Wait… don’t read into that!
