WHAT LISA KNEW
When the New York police delivered six-year-old Lisa Steinberg to St. Vincent's Hospital at 6:56 A.M. on November 2, she was comatose. It seemed to be a classic battered-child case, except that Joel Steinberg was a rich lawyer, Hedda Nussbaum was a former children's book editor, and they lived in a famous house on one of the most beautiful blocks in Greenwich Village. The police, however, described the apartment as a pigsty, and the neighbors told alarming stories in whispers. JOYCE JOHNSON traces the downward spiral of Hedda Nussbaum. And MAURY TERRY, author of The Ultimate Evil, obtains an exclusive interview with Joel Steinberg in prison on Rikers Island
