Today’s ‘misunderstood’ teenagers are no different from predecessors

YOU may prefer a Michael Crichton thriller or a bit of chick-lit on the beach, but this July offers a new vacation possibility: Reading for Columbine.

This weekend, police in America released for public consumption a thousand pages of previously unpublished writings by two mass murderers.

The killers — Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold — were the teenagers who opened fire on their fellow students, killing 13 at the Columbine High School a few years ago. The writings include diary entries, homework and personal computer notes.
