...past may have finally caught up with the Unicorn. Counterculture guru Ira Einhorn came a step closer to the dock Thursday after a French court agreed to send him to the U.S. to stand in a new trial for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux. It's a small step -- Einhorn's lawyer is already readying an appeal, a process that could take up to two years and go all the way to the French equivalent of the Supreme Court.

RELEASED. IRA EINHORN, 57, a.k.a. the Unicorn, elusive hippie guru convicted in absentia of a 1977 Philadelphia slaying; by a French court that rejected a U.S. extradition request; in Bordeaux. French police finally netted the Unicorn last June, but the three-judge panel set him free on a technicality: French law, unlike that of the U.S., automatically grants retrials to suspects convicted in absentia...
