I just saw this in the NYTimes. I can still remember (just checked - it was February 1975) sitting up late in our first apartment reading HELTER SKELTER late at night and getting totally freaked out, to the point where I had to quit reading and go to bed.

RIP


Jeff

I felt the same way about that book, Jeff. A creepy, scary story.

Wow--he was only in his thirties when he prosecuted the Manson family. That seems so young to me...now.
