THE TENUOUS NATURE OF TRUTH........

The following article discusses a different viewpoint on one of the most famous cases in Psychology...Kitty Genovese. The case is generally spoke about in most psychology classes, especially social psychology. It makes one think about how easily things in our information world can become "fact" even when facts may not actually back them up!
