More Style Issues

I realize that they have the same last name, and that the headline "Peterson to be arraigned in Peterson's death" doesn't really work, but did anyone ever think of "Peterson to be arraigned in wife's death? As I ranted re: "Private Jessica," I hate seeing women being referred to by their first names in news stories. It rarely, if ever, happens to men. It's just so demeaning. Considering that the AP has its own style guide for newspaper writing, I'd think they'd be better at it.
