 Our favorite Pasadena gun store is having a sale. There’s a large selection of rifles for $1.99 each. They’re complete except for “minor, essential parts.” Wonder if any of them are  Mannlicher-Carcanos.

Feb. 5, 1960: I realize this is far more than most people will care to read about the Finch case. I'm posting all The Times' coverage for the folks who care to read it and for anyone who may come along later and want to know about the trials.

    Today, even the OJ trial wouldn’t get this much coverage because of declining size and number of reporters. Did they print his entire testimony?

    Your “reflective pose” of Carole Tregoff is the one I’ve been looking for. The mix of her beauty and his money made a very bad cocktail.

    Thank you for your extensive clippings on the Finch case, and yes, I have read every word. It’s utterly fascinating. Looking at the photos and coverage of the day makes it almost feel like a graphic novel.
    As a friend commented to me, “It looks like an old Perry Mason!”
