...fears of a maniac running amok quickly spread through the city. Indeed, there were chilling similarities between the two slaughters: the words ''death to pigs" smeared in blood on a wall, the mutilation of victims' bodies, a pillowcase over LaBianca's head and a lamp cord around his neck...
Telephone and electric lines leading to the red, barnlike house had been severed. The word "pig" was scrawled on the front door in blood. Inside, police discovered the body of Polanski's pregnant wife, Actress Sharon Tate, 26. She was clad in a bikini nightgown.

From the earliest days, Charles did his best to blend into the Trinity scenery. He shuffled about in baggy cord trousers and an old jacket, cooked his own breakfasts and bicycled to classes. He decided to try for a B.A. Much of his time was spent over his books, and in examinations at the end of his freshman year he wound up with the equivalent of an A minus average...
