LIFE Magazine, Vol. 67, #25 (Chicago: December 19, 1969).
The “Love and Terror Cult” issue, with the famous ‘Svengali’ cover photograph and a 12pp. photo-illustrated feature on Manson and his ‘Family’.
Also: reaction to the My Lai massacre; Albert Goldman on “The Lord Buckley Phenomenon”; and Joan Didion (who later stated: “Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive travelled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.”).
