So rights to any books he wrote or might write post-marriage would presumably revert to her. And anything she might write as ‘wife of Charles Manson’ would be entirely hers. She could make out fairly well from this. ---

I was worried about a heart attack on the honeymoon, but Charlie was optimistic, and said “If she dies, she dies.” ---

This woman is eligible to vote. Therefore, she has as much influence on the nation’s destiny, as you or I. That is a really depressing thought.
