well, as of last night, around 8 oclock, manson's troubled soul departed the Earth. MSNBC, after doing a five minute retrospective of the story, announced it will never do it again. where has the angle of repeated intoxication by LSD in hypnotizing his followers, been covered? anyone here heard of MKULTRA? Thanks, CIA, for all those doses people had to endure, and for what it turned them into. Thanks, Sidney Gottlieb. the book and the trial made St. Vincent's career. It helped that after Nixon contaminated the jury by stating to the media his belief that Manson was guilty, the judge let the trial proceed, forthwith. (The headlines were huge on the newspapers everywhere in this nation: NIXON SAYS MANSON GUILTY). everyone in L.A. was scared it would happen to them. Bugliosi succeeded in linking Manson to the Beatles, when who Charlie was maddest at was the Beachboys. You may not admire HELTER SKELTER as a piece of music, but you must admit the lyrics do not point anyone toward killing anyone. What a shitty thing for Bugliosi to do, in order to sell books (it succeeded).
