...Littleton, 50, a manic depressive whose monotone, prescription-drug-affected speech is now slower than that shown on the tape, is testifying at the trial as a "third party suspect."

This choice is predicated on two assumptions which are central to the picture of Woolf that emerges from Dalsimer’s analysis: First, that the manic-depressive disorder that afflicted Woolf for most of her life, ultimately leading her to suicide, was primarily formed by the traumatic losses she suffered at a young age. Woolf’s mother died when she was 13. Before she reached age 25, she had lost her sister, father and brother...
