...million for information leading to the arrest of Kennedy's murderers. In the underground Los Angeles Free Press, he published a report last month charging that a CIA-FBI conspiracy was behind the assassination. After last week's attempt on his life, Flynt's wife Althea, 24, publicly accused the CIA of shooting Flynt because he was about to publish the names of J.F.K.'s assassins in a Free Press special edition. From his hospital bed, Flynt himself made the absurd charge that the shooting was an attempt to stop his assassination inquiry...

Acid for the temperate...
...Althea chronicles the divorce of Muldoon-Adam from Fantasy-Eve. A slow divorce--it spans the late 1950s through 1973. It's a long book that moves as slowly and richly as a pageant, sometimes presenting vivid tableaus such as Muldoon's chance meeting with Norma after years apart--he no longer recognizes the dope-smoking, guerilla-garbed literary lioness Norma has become...
