...Linda Fitzpatrick, 18, the suburban dropout who was murdered with her latest hippie boy friend in a Greenwich Village basement earlier this month, confessed that she was hooked on the drug, and may indeed have been lured to her death by a promise of the stuff. The number of speeders-called "speed freaks," "meth freaks," "meth monsters," or "meth heads"-has, according to the hippies, increased enormously within recent months. Researchers writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimate that in San Francisco alone, 4,000 people regularly inject themselves with powerful amphetamines...

It is possible that she used her mother's maiden name (which I've never known) in order to spare the family "disgrace." Annette Wildey is no longer living, but I would like to perpetuate her memory by attaching her real name...
...Diana was his favorite, though, and from the moment Architect Stanford White asked him to sculpt her as a fitting finial for the Garden (then under construction), she was a labor of love, his first nude, his first ideal figure. Saint-Gau dens chose an Irish girl named Nellie Fitzpatrick as his model, made a 6-foot-tall cement study, then scaled it up to an 18-foot statue. Much...
