Since Manson's conviction and life sentence, Squeaky has lived in various parts of California, including the San Fernando Valley, Monterey, San Francisco and Sacramento, where she rented an apartment to be near Manson after he was transferred to Folsom prison. With at least three other Manson women, she shared a dilapidated apartment on P Street, only a few blocks from the capitol grounds, where last week's attempt on President Ford's life took place. Prison authorities refused their dozen requests to visit Manson. Bugliosi has called her the "chief cheerleader of the Manson cause." Indeed...
...eyes revealing a horrifying emptiness, the members of the Manson family are once again haunting the headlines. The motley, mixed-up band today numbers about 100, fanned out in communes up and down California. Some Mansonites live in a three-story wood frame house about 30 miles east of Folsom prison where Manson was held for a time. The number of residents varies, but usually includes at least seven women, three men and up to ten children. Lynette ("Squeaky") Fromme and Sandra Good had lived there off and on until last spring...
...Alabama, Governor George Wallace, 54, easily defeated four rivals, including his wife Cornelia's uncle, former Governor James E. ("Kissin' Jim") Folsom, 65, to win the Democratic nomination for an unprecedented third four-year term.

He carried 66 of the state's 67 counties and received surprisingly strong support from blacks, whom he seriously courted...
...troublemakers are confined. That day may come, however, despite the fact that all three of the guards are women. Prison officials say that they "aren't making any concessions as to what these women might be called upon to do" in an emergency. All three-Joyce Zink at Folsom and Wilma Schneider and Bonni Briggs at San Quentin-were hired after the California Personnel Board ruled that women must be considered for guard jobs. Though the three are the first of their sex to serve as guards, they are not the first to hold "correctional" jobs in California...
...colorful a character as her brother Jim, Ruby Folsom was seen by some as a possible competitor of her daughter's for Wallace's affections. "Shoooot, honey," scoffed Ruby, who is nearly six feet tall. "He ain't even titty high." After she campaigned for George this year in Florida, some on the Wallace staff seemed to consider her an embarrassment, and she was miffed. "Ah'm scared they're gonna tell George ah was drinkin' too much and showin' my fanny," she told a Washington Post reporter...
