...security lapse? And how could such a thing happen in a fortress like Maze, which has every security device available, including multiple 15-ft. fences and an 18-ft. concrete wall topped with barbed wire around each cell block?

Her claim: the two made an oral agreement to share all property accumulated during the time they lived together (1964-70). Michelle Triola Marvin, as she calls herself, demanded that the actor ante up a solid million-including shares in film rights, a home in Malibu, and an island in the South Pacific.
