MURDER AS ART?
Sueng Hui Cho's massive and horrifying slaughter of 32 Virginia Tech
students and faculty has spawned incalculable numbers of articles,
television news shows, and Internet postings, many of them offering
"reasons" for Cho's actions and the meanings of such expressions of
violence.

ineffable artistic images that his crimes have permanently etched into
our cultural landscape. Crime as art? Murder as performance?
