History hidden and 〃soooooooo〃 hush…hushed。
The Sheriff sheltered me for three years。 I lived in exile on the Sunset Strip。 Joi dumped me。 I married an actress named Leigh Snowden。
Parker kept his promise。 He did not visit violence upon me or mine。 He did not sell slaves to Bad…Boy Batista。 He did not imprison the impecunious。 He did not juke Jack Webb in any public manner and did not drag Dragnet into the dirt。 He dramatically drove Fred Otash out of the LAPD。 Dragnet dragged onforfive more seasons。
Fred O became a private eye。 He shagged shit and skimmed skinny from a thousand insider informants。 He brokered abortions。 He set up dry outs and dope cures。 He sold pictures of Rock Hudson with a dick in his mouth。 He doped a racehorse in '59 and almost did time。 He died old and rich in 1992。
Heart attack。
Johnny Stompanato ran sex shakedowns and took up with Lana Turner。 Lana's daughter shanked him in April '58。 Fred 0 made a mint on morgue memorabilia。 Slab shots sold for a C…note。 Marilyn Monroe bought Johnny's hair。 A pederast purchased his penis。
The Schvantz died in '6g。
On his yacht。 Alone with five women。
Heart attack。
He lived fast； loved hard； died hung。
Ida Lupino died in '95。
Cigarettes and booze and attrition。
Sheriff Biscailuz died in '69。
Old age。
I went to his wake。 I got drunk with some robbery cops and joined them on a liquor…store stakeout。 I told them the REAL Harvey Glatman story。 They didn't believe me。
Harvey disappeared for three years。 He resurfaced in L。A。 in '57。 He snuffed three women and dumped them in the desert。 A pinup model dumped Harvey。 She disarmed him and dropped him with a flesh wound。 The cops grabbed him。 He copped out to his three recent killings and no more。 He was tried and convicted。 He sucked cyanide in September '59。
The three women weigh on me。 The unidentified dead undermine my sleep and own me at odd moments。 Harvey escaped on my watch。 He killed his last three victims and other women under my imprimatur I exploited his genius。 It saved my life。 I sold him a death…house reprieve。 He exploited the time and bought himseiffive years and untold victims。
Time。
Oscar and Joi died in '72。 They put in a million showbiz miles and burned out every part of their bodies。
I miss them。
Viv Woodard died in '61。
Suicide。
She never hatched her half…guinea love child。
Jack Webb died in '82。 Heart attack。 He promulgated police propaganda with other tuna TVshows and tapped out to the tune of authority。 His malevolent mentor William H。 Parker died in '66。
A heart attack hastened by his bri ef blast of me。
He passed on as one pissed…off patriarch。 I derailed his most demonic designs and forced him to settle for second…class methods of suppression。 He stepped up his stern measures in indirect defiance of me。 I destroyed his dystopia and devastated his most darkly held dreams。 Ifragged his frazzled and fragile ego。 He suppressed the suppressible underclass and dicked the disenfranchised as dickable Dick Contino surrogates。
His boys kicked black ass and brown ass and poor…white ass。 Parker paternalistically popped his rocks along with them。 He left a lethal legacy。 He left his suppression…minded successors the unlearned lesson that suppression has a price。
Rodney King。 The '92 riots。 The repellent and radically race…ratified O。J。 Simpson verdict。
The twisting twirl of time。
Back to 1954。
And me。
I never resurrected my career。 I banged my box and made maintenance money and raised three kids。 My draft…dodger drama dogged me and diverted my audience。 My wife died in '82。
Cancer。
I'm 67 now。 I'm healthy。 I live in Las Vegas and work lounge gigs。 I chase women。 Women chase me。 I chase the twisting twirl back to THEN。
My fear flared and flowed THEN to NOW My Patented PostPassive Rages popped once in a billion blue moons。 I mainlined my way into madness and meandered out with more mini…myths。
I've mentioned this aforetold myth to a million myth…hungry people。 They don't accept my secret history。 They tell me the players are dead and unable to confirm or refute。 They point to my genetic link to Alzheimer's disease。
They tell me I'm lying。 They say I'm wrong。 They say it's a fever dream。 They get frenetically frustrated and say no no no。
I get righteously righteous and smilingly smug。 I point to L。A。 and claim credit for the nightmare。

SEX； GLITZ； AND GREED
THE SEDUCTION OF O。 J。 SIMPSON
＇This piece was written before the verdict in the O。J。 Simpson trial。＇
The Simpson…Goldman snuffs are recognizably prosaic。 Subtract the accused killer's celebrity and showbiz milieu and you've got a spur…of…the…moment whack…out equally indigenous to Watts； Pacoima and Dogdick； Delaware。 The intersection' of fame； extreme good looks； and pervasive media coverage has blasted a mon double slash…job to the top of the pantheonic police blotter of our minds。 The Leopold…Loeb； Wylie…Hoffert； and Manson Family casesreplete with plex investigations and psychological underpinnings emblematic of their timecannot pete with the Simpson Trinity。 A botched hack…and…run caper has bee the Crime of the Century。
On Sunday； June 12； 1994； Oj。 Simpson did or did not drive to his ex…wife Nicole Brown Simpson's pad and slaughter her and a young man named Ronald Goldman。 He did or did not wear gloves and a ski mask； he did or did not butcher his victims with a bone…handled knife； a bayonet； or an entrenching tool。 He did or did not split the scene and drive to his own home； a few minutes away。
Nicole Brown Simpson was or was not a devoted mother； a cocaine addict； and an airheaded party girl。 She was or was not an anorexic； a bulimic； or a nymphomaniac given to picking up men at a Brentwood espresso pit。 The minutiae of her life can be piled and collated to conform to almost any sleazy thesis。 She is most unambiguously defined by this heavily documented fact： Oj。 Simpson beat the shit out of her over the last five years of her life。
Ron Goldman was either a waiter who wanted to be an actor or an actor working as a waitera very mon L。A。 job euphemism。 He was or was not Nicole Simpson's lover。 He did or did not borrow Nicole's Ferrari on occasionwhich did or did not piss off Oj。 no end。 Forensic evidence indicates that Goldman fought very hard for his life。
Forensic evidence is utilized to supersede interpretation and conjecture through the application of impartial； empirically valid scientific methods。 Forensic evidence is used to place suspected felons at crime scenes。 Forensic evidence is a counterweight to gooey pleas for mitigation。
The gathering of forensic evidence is a conscious search for the truth。 So are legitimate attempts to debunk scientific fallacies and sloppy applications of long…established forensic procedures。 The analysis of forensic evidence may prove to be the adjudicating bottom line in the Oj。 Simpson case。 The flip side might be logical chaosa verdict or the absence of a verdict spawned by the numbingly protracted cross…media extravaganza that has d
