Out here in Los Angeles, I remember that day well. I was in High School, 15 years old. I'll always remember the 20 year old woman who was 8 months pregant. She took a bullet in the stomach, the fetus was shot in the head and I think her boyfriend was killed. She was never able to have children after that. Seems to me that 1966 was an ugly turning point of some kind. One month earlier, Richard Speck killed those eight nurses in Chicago. It just seemed like the beginning of a whole rash of insane killings in the US, culminating in the Manson Family murders out my way in 1969.
