  • America's Fascination with Multiple Murder
    CHAPTER ONE AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH MULTIPLE MURDER he break of dawn on November 16, 1957, heralded the start of deer hunting T season in rural Waushara County, Wisconsin. The men of Plainfield went off with their hunting rifles and knives but without any clue of what Edward Gein would do that day. Gein was known to the 647 residents of Plainfield as a quiet man who kept to himself in his aging, dilapidated farmhouse. But when the men of the vil- lage returned from hunting that evening, they learned the awful truth about their 51-year-old neighbor and the atrocities that he had ritualized within the walls of his farmhouse. The first in a series of discoveries that would disrupt the usually tranquil town occurred when Frank Worden arrived at his hardware store after hunting all day. Frank’s mother, Bernice Worden, who had been minding the store, was missing and so was Frank’s truck. But there was a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the place where the truck had been garaged. The investigation of Bernice’s disappearance and possible homicide led police to the farm of Ed Gein. Because the farm had no electricity, the investigators con- ducted a slow and ominous search with flashlights, methodically scanning the barn for clues. The sheriff’s light suddenly exposed a hanging figure, apparently Mrs. Worden. As Captain Schoephoerster later described in court: Mrs. Worden had been completely dressed out like a deer with her head cut off at the shoulders.

  • “'The Paranoia Was Fulfilled' – an Analysis of Joan Didion's
    “‘THE PARANOIA WAS FULFILLED’ – AN ANALYSIS OF JOAN DIDION’S ESSAY ‘THE WHITE ALBUM’” Rachele Colombo Independent Scholar ABSTRACT This article looks at Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album” from the collection of essays The White Album (1979), as a relevant text to reflect upon America’s turmoil in the sixties, and investigate in particular the subject of paranoia. “The White Album” represents numerous historical events from the 1960s, but the central role is played by the Manson Murders case, which the author considers it to be the sixties’ watershed. This event–along with many others–shaped Didion’s perception of that period, fueling a paranoid tendency that reflected in her writing. Didion appears to be in search of a connection between her growing anxiety and these violent events throughout the whole essay, in an attempt to understand the origin of her paranoia. Indeed, “The White Album” deals with a period in Didion’s life characterized by deep nervousness, caused mainly by her increasing inability to make sense of the events surrounding her, the Manson Murders being the most inexplicable one. Conse- quently, Didion seems to ask whether her anxiety and paranoia are justified by the numerous violent events taking place in the US during the sixties, or if she is giving a paranoid interpretation of com- pletely neutral and common events. Because of her inability to find actual connections between the events surrounding her, in particular political assassinations, Didion realizes she feels she is no longer able to fulfill her main duty as a writer: to tell a story.

    The long Prison Journey of leslie Van Houten: life Beyond the Cult By Kariene Faith Boston: Northeastern University Press (2001), 216 pp. Reviewed by Liz Elliott n the last year of the 1960s, a decade of anomie, the U.S. experienced two I events that would symbolize different aspects of its culture into the next millennium. These events took place at opposite sides of the country, although they occun-ed less than a week apart. One event, a cultural festival of music and arts, has remained in time as an example of the possibilities of peaceful co­ existence in adverse circumstances oflarge numbers ofpeopJe. From August 15th to the 17th the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival's patrons endured rain and mud - and all of the other inconveniences that would reasonably accrue in a situation where unexpected large numbers ofpeople converged in one location -to see some of the decade's masters of rock and roll and folk music perfonn in the state of New York. Almost half a million people, many of whom were experiencing the event under the influence of various illicit drugs, attended Woodstock and lived together peacefhlly for one weekend. 1 Across the continent a few days earlier, the world heard the news of two ten-ible sets of murders in California that shook the sense of security that until then was enjoyed by Americans. We were soon to learn that these bizarre, seemingly ritualistic killings were the bidding of a charismatic but crazy man who was state-raised2 and resourceful. In this case the drugs were used to weaken the already fragile resolve ofyoung idealistic people who were searching for themselves and open to new ways of seeing the world.

  • Volume 6 Number 064 the Manson Murders
    Volume 6 Number 064 The Manson Murders – I Lead: Of the turbulent events that marked the decade of the 1960s, the chilling and notorious Charles Manson murders are clearly among most shocking. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: Charles Manson was born in 1934. He had an unstable childhood and by the age of thirteen was ripening into young man with a decidedly criminal inclination. After being released from a California prison in 1967, he moved to San Francisco, where he began attracting a group of devoted young people who would eventually follow him on a path of violence and destruction. Playing upon sections of the Book of Revelation and drawing inspiration from certain Beatle songs, Manson and his followers began preparing for a racial war in which black and white would annihilate each other. After this war, which Manson called “Helter Skelter,” he and his followers, or as he called them, his “family,” would emerge from a bottomless pit in Death Valley ready to lead a new society. By August 1969 the “Manson Family” was living in the run-down ranch buildings of an abandoned movie set just outside of Los Angeles, running a crime ring specializing in car thefts and drug sales. Manson, through some type of psychological control, dominated members of “The Family.” He correctly suspected that they would commit murder if he so instructed. On the night of August 9, 1969, on his orders a group of his followers brutally murdered actress Sharon Tate and four others in her Beverly Hills home. The next evening Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, wealthy owners of a grocery chain, were as brutally murdered in their Los Angeles home.

  • 92 Together in News Reports. Both Sharon Tate and Rosemary Woodhouse Were White, Blonde, Pregnant Newlyweds. Both Were Tortured by a Cult
    92 together in news reports. Both Sharon Tate and Rosemary Woodhouse were white, blonde, pregnant newlyweds. Both were tortured by a cult. The head of the Church of Satan, with which Manson was affiliated, played the role of the devil in the rape scene in Polanski’s film.47 There were fundamental, irreconcilable differences between the film, the Manson case, and its representation in the news, but their striking resemblances to one another stemmed from shared and intimate ties to the same expanding commercial media enterprise, increasingly owned by the same corporations, even in the late 1960s. Manson’s homicidal anger partly resulted from his frustrated ambitions in the music industry. After record producer Terry Melcher failed to honor a scheduled meeting with Manson and his followers, who hoped to record an album, Manson ordered his group to kill everyone at Melcher’s old house, where Tate and Polanski, a powerful and recognizable Hollywood couple, resided. The Manson murders demonstrated that similarities between reality and contemporary fiction were pliable, easily exploited, and profitable, especially when reported live on local and national news. Despite the fact that Manson was not present when his followers killed Tate and six others in her Hollywood Hills neighborhood, he became the living embodiment of evil, an example cited by emerging political pro-family groups, including evangelicals, of the hedonistic excesses of sixties liberalism. Manson was used as a means of reinstating early Cold War nuclear family values after young people began flagrantly rejecting them in the 1960s. As an eccentric cult leader remorselessly tied to brutal crimes, he served as an example of the devastating personal repercussions that came from straying beyond the limits of the 1950s middle-class suburban ideal in which he was raised.
