Historical Fumes. Martin Butlin, keeper of the British Collection at the Tate Gallery, points out in the catalogue that Turner's cataclysms were meant to replace the older European tradition of personified myth-wrathful Zeus and so forth-and thus they moralize nature itself. Turner, a self-taught man, was no classical scholar, and he made blunders of erudition about myth and history. Yet as Butlin puts it, "Turner's moral philosophy was a matter of passion and visual expression, not of strict archaeology and attention to sources . . . The fumes of history filled his brain...
...problem is to write cohesive laws that will clearly define Burns' "strategic industries or enterprises." Certainly there should be no investment large enough to enable a foreigner to dic tate policy in U.S. defense industries or in transportation, tele vision networks and other communications industries. The problem for Congress is to meld somehow the interests of OPEC investors and the American desire to maintain unquestioned di rection of sensitive industries...
...link all three cases. Bugliosi writes that the detective did not "think the information important enough to walk across the autopsy room and mention the conversation to his superior." That was only one of many other examples of incompetence.

The L.A. police department, meanwhile, sent flyers to police across the country to keep an eye out for the Tate...
Manson was finally caught because one of his accomplices, Susan Atkins, boasted about the killings. Bugliosi then had to fill the gap between allegations and evidence. Detectives on the Tate case sloughed off his repeated requests to search for the bloody clothing that the killers had discarded. Using leads from a newspaper story, a TV crew found the evidence on the first...
Indeed, Bugliosi believes that family members have killed several times since. The horror of this possibility is exceeded by the fact that since California abolished the death penalty in 1971, the Tate-LaBianca murderers are now serving life terms and will be eligible for parole...
