...Pine Bluff, Ark., she was an average Middle American high school girl. In wartime Washington, or postwar Forest Hills, or more recently in establishmentarian, suburban Rye, N.Y., she was little more than part of the background?not spectacular, not social, not smart?and only dimly remembered by her neighbors. Then, about a year ago, as the wife of the U.S. Attorney General, she told a TV reporter that the November peace demonstration in Washington reminded her husband of a Russian revolution.

Then Manson would testify, both to confirm his innocence and tell the world his special truths. Fitzgerald vainly argued the obvious: not only would the girls be convicted, but Manson would...
...Protestant Reformation to Martin Luther's resolution of Erikson's Life Stage 5 ("Identity v. Role Confusion"). He won the 1969 National Book Award for Gandhi's Truth, a study of the man, his ideals and the techniques of nonviolence. Erikson embarked upon it in part, he says, "because it was time for me to write about the responsibilities of middle...
