- TITLE: "Bad Choices" Everything involves choices. If you make enough good ones, you are successful. If you make enough bad ones you end up in a packing crate in Afghanistan.
- "... Charles Manson ..." Manson was the leader of a hideously violent cult in the 60's which, in 1969, broke into the home of director Roman Polanski and murdered six people including pregnant actress Sharon Tate. The next night they killed two people named Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.
The "Tate/LaBianca Murders" as they came to be known, led to the O.J. trial of 1970.
Manson, who is now 62, has been turned down for parole nine times, Mrs. Bueller.

- "� Federal Courthouse �"
Here are the two courthouses side-by-side. The one on the left, the lovely, stately, traditional courthouse is
where I was prepared to set up shop. The one on the right, the Stalinist one, is where the trial will be held.
This is what I do for you. This is my chair in a prime location next to the steps of the old courthouse. Note, please the Starbucks coffee cup on the left, and the unique
cantilever construction holding the umbrella on.
