As Van Houten recounts it, he approached the hospital on the dark side of the street and was attacked from behind by Edmund Perry and an accomplice, who threw him to the ground and beat him nearly unconscious.

The second assailant...

...sure she isn't the woman Stendhal," wrote Edmund Wilson back in 1941, when his young wife began her first book. Some 40 years, 20 volumes and two husbands later, the evidence is in.
