A thought ot two

Mortin Williams, a Californian psychologist, said of the recent Virginia Tech massacre that Cho's ramblings were similar to those of Charles Manson but unlike Manson, Cho had no ability or inclination to organise or inspire followers.
Initial media coverage of the event: was it the "girl who sparked a massacre" or the "victim - 18 year old country girl"? (Police now report that there was no apparent link between the gunman and his first female victim.)
The death toll from Virginia Tech - 32 or 33. The number varies depending on whether that particular media outlet is counting the gunman's death in the total.
