Born in 1934, Kate was the second of three Millett daughters, who "should all have been sons. I remember seeing my father getting the news that the youngest was born ... the look on his face: three errors in a row. I like my father now, but I'm also not ever going to forget what he did to us when I was a kid. Six feet one and really angry, he was mind-blowing frightening...
...Row after row of shacks are built on stilts and often are constructed from sheets of rolled beer cans. One family lives with hundreds of Miller High Life emblems as the facade of its house, while a neighbor may prefer the hues of Pabst Blue Ribbon or Budweiser.

Many allow themselves to be hyperimmunized, so that their blood will produce disease-fighting antibodies. Others participate in programs that could create RH-factor incompatibilities, exposing them to illness or even death if they themselves should later require blood transfusions or certain types of medication...
...courtroom, a young woman spectator in the back row cried softly. There was, audibly, the release of withheld breathing after the most vivid passages. The jurors leaned back, remembering suddenly to use their notebooks. Manson's co-defendants-Miss Krenwinkel, Susan Atkins and Leslie Van Houten-sat still and attentive, their foreheads now scratched with the outcast's X that he had cut into himself earlier in the trial...
