This book was released on 2020-11-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique, (7x10), 600-page book is not only an engrossing and intimate biography of two enigmatic women, it explores the mysteries surrounding their untimely deaths, with NEW information never previously revealed. Marilyn Monroe was the movies' Mona Lisa. Dorothy Kilgallen was called the greatest female writer in the world by Ernest Hemingway. Just one day before Marilyn died, Dorothy brazenly printed enough clues in her nationally syndicated newspaper column to link the actress to Robert Kennedy. Irrefutable evidence, including from law enforcement sources, establishes that RFK visited Monroe unexpectedly hours before her death. Kilgallen publicly challenged the cover up of how MM died, and later was found dead under eerily similar circumstances: alone in bed, late at night, with a long delay before police were called. The death scenes seemed staged. Both posed a threat to powerful interests:?Marilyn due to her involvement with the Kennedys, and Dorothy because she threatened to expose the truth behind JFK's assassination. The two women, (who knew each other), were being simultaneously wiretapped and physically surveilled by the FBI, CIA and the mafia. They each confided to friends they possessed information that could put them in danger, and within hours prior to their deaths, had confronted men in their lives whose alibis were easily challenged. Key witnesses were never interviewed and those who were, told conflicting stories. There were perfunctory investigations, glaring contradictions between autopsy results and the wholly implausible "official" findings, disappearing forensic evidence and the premature announcement of the cause of death before any factual basis could be determined. Important and confidential papers much sought-after went missing and friends were certain the women had been murdered. The intriguing overlap between Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Kilgallen and the colorful lives they lead has never been explored until now. Award-winning investigative journalists Larry Jordan and Sara Jordan-Heintz set the record straight, dispel rumors and misinformation that have swirled around the women for decades and bring fresh insights. This meticulously well researched book is a true crime thriller!

Book excerpt: Why is What’s My Line? TV star and Pulitzer-Prize-nominated investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen one of the most feared journalists in history? Why has her threatened exposure of the truth about the JFK assassination triggered a cover-up by at least four government agencies and resulted in abuse of power at the highest levels? Denial of Justice—written in the spirit of bestselling author Mark Shaw’s gripping true crime murder mystery, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much—tells the inside story of why Kilgallen was such a threat leading up to her unsolved murder in 1965. Shaw includes facts that have never before been published, including eyewitness accounts of the underbelly of Kilgallen’s private life, revealing statements by family members convinced she was murdered, and shocking new information about Jack Ruby’s part in the JFK assassination that only Kilgallen knew about, causing her to be marked for danger. Peppered with additional evidence signaling the potential motives of Kilgallen’s arch enemies J. Edgar Hoover, mobster Carlos Marcello, Frank Sinatra, her husband Richard, and her last lover, Denial of Justice adds the final chapter to the story behind why the famous journalist was killed, with no investigation to follow despite a staged death scene.

Download or read book Bombshell written by Mike Rothmiller and published by Ad Lib Publishers Ltd. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Bobby called. He’s coming to California. He wants to see me.’ Drawing on secret police files, Marilyn Monroe's private diary and never before published first-hand testimony, this book proves that Robert Kennedy was directly responsible for her death. It details the legendary star's tumultuous personal involvement with him and his brother, President John Kennedy, and how they sought to silence her. The new evidence and testimony is provided by Mike Rothmiller who, as a detective of the Organized Crime Intelligence Division (OCID) of the LAPD, had direct personal access to hundreds of secret LAPD files on exactly what happened at Marilyn Monroe’s Californian home on August 5, 1962. With his training and investigator’s knowledge, Rothmiller used that secret information to get to the heart of the matter, to the people who were there the night Marilyn died – two of whom played major roles in the cover-up – and the wider conspiracy to protect the Kennedys at all costs. There will be those with doubts, but to them, the lawman – who directed international intelligence operations targeting organized crime – says the printed, forensic and oral evidence are totally convincing. He insists: ‘If I presented my evidence in any court of law, I’d get a conviction.’
Download or read book The Murder of Marilyn Monroe written by Jay Margolis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Seller! Since Marilyn Monroe died among suspicious circumstances on the night of August 4, 1962, there have been queries and theories, allegations and investigations, but no definitive evidence about precisely what happened and who was involved . . . until now. In The Murder of Marilyn Monroe: Case Closed, renowned MM expert Jay Margolis and New York Times bestselling author Richard Buskin finally lay to rest more than fifty years of wild speculation and misguided assertions by actually naming, for the first time, the screen goddess’s killer while utilizing the testimony of eye-witnesses to exactly what took place inside her house on Fifth Helena Drive in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood. Implicating Bobby Kennedy in the commission of Marilyn’s murder, this is the first book to name the LAPD officers who accompanied the US Attorney General to her home, provide details about how the Kennedys used bribes to silence one of the ambulance drivers, and specify how the subsequent cover-up was aided by a noted pathologist’s outrageous lies. This blockbuster volume blows the lid off the world’s most notorious and talked-about celebrity death, and in the process exposes not only the truth about an iconic star’s tragic final hours, but also how a legendary American politician used powerful resources to protect what many still perceive as his untarnished reputation.

Book excerpt: For years, the government has put out hits on people that they found “expendable,” or who they felt were “talking too much,” covering up their assassinations with drug overdoses and mysterious suicides. In Dead Wrong, a study of the scientific and forensic facts of various Government cover-ups, Richard Belzer and David Wayne argue that Marilyn Monroe was murdered, that the person who shot Martin Luther King Jr. was ordered to do so by the government, and examines many other terrifying lies we've been told throughout our country’s history. The extensive research shows how our government has taken matters into its own hands, plotting murder whenever it saw fit. Belzer and Wayne also examine the deaths of White House Counsel Vincent Foster, U.N. Weapons Inspector Dr. David C. Kelly, and bio-weapons expert Dr. Frank Olson, as well as the cases of two murders directly linked Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. “Big Brother” is watching you—through the scope of a sniper rifle. Dead Wrong will give you the straight facts on some of the most controversial and famous deaths this country has ever seen. The harsh reality is that our government only tells us what we want to hear, as they look out for their own best interests and eliminate anyone who gets in their way.
Download or read book Did Pat Newcomb Kill Marilyn Monroe written by E. Jensen and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1962 rumors of a Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy affair where spreading through Hollywood. When Marilyn asked her friend and masseur, Ralph Roberts, if he had heard the rumors he replied "all Hollywood was talking about it." On the day before Monroe's death those rumors finally made their way into print in a Dorothy Kilgallen gossip column. In that same column Kilgallen also mentions a scandalous photo of Marilyn that was being shown around. Was the photo taken at Cal-Neva just before Marilyn's death? The weekend before she died, Marilyn and her companion, Pat Kennedy Lawford were visiting Frank Sinatra's Cal-Neva lodge. According to photographer William Woodfield, photos were taken that weekend that included both Marilyn and Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana. Marilyn was with the sister of the president. Was she in the photos also? The Kennedy sister being at the Cal-Neva at the same time as a man on the "Top Hoodlum List" would have been more than an embarrassment for the Kennedys, it could have exposed the secret that both Joe Kennedy and Giancana owned a piece of the casino and lodge. It also may have exposed the fact that Joe Kennedy, through Frank Sinatra, had asked for Giancana's help with Jack's election. FBI agent, Bill Roemer confirms Giancana was there. According to Shirley MacLaine, Hollywood was entertaining another MM/RFK rumor during that fateful summer. The basis of this one was that Robert Kennedy and the Justice Department were going after the powerful media conglomerate MCA, who was about to scoop up Universal Studios, on behalf of Monroe. There was a kernel of truth to the rumor. The case had started before the two met, but Ralph Roberts revealed that RFK had asked for Marilyn's help in busting up MCA. It all started near the end of 1961 when a grand jury was convened in Los Angeles to determine if MCA was involved in a conspiracy to monopolize the entertainment industry. Civil and criminal charges were expected. This was precisely the same time period that Marilyn first met RFK and also when she fired MCA as the talent agency that represented her. It's been over fifty years since Monroe's death and 100's of books have been written about Marilyn Monroe, yet in all that time, the connections between these interrelated circumstances have never been fully explored and are rarely ever even mentioned. This book sets out to change that. In the weeks and days before her death, Monroe was reaching out and trying to contact Robert Kennedy. This book attempts to show that it had nothing to do with an actual affair between the two but it had everything to do with the mistaken gossip that there was an affair, and that RFK's attack on MCA had come at her bidding. She also was probably desperate to get some assurance from Kennedy that she would be protected from the mob. Just weeks before her death the antitrust case became a matter of red hot urgency in Hollywood. MCA was forced to jettison it's talent agency and many of the best stars in Hollywood were suddenly without representation. Circumstances in the MCA case had deteriorated to a point where Marilyn had to feel she was going to be blamed for what was happening in Hollywood. In mid July 1962, the Justice Department announced it was going forward with it's case against MCA, then it quietly settled the case on terms very favorable to the company. All MCA had to do was cut loose it's agency. MCA's talent agency represented between 60 and 70 percent of Hollywood's best talent, and now those stars were without agents. Some of Hollywood's greatest agents were without jobs and scrambling to form new companies. Los Angeles newspapers were siding with MCA and accusing the government of an attack on the city that would set Hollywood back five years and cripple it's chances to remain the production capital of the world. Given the rumors that were circulating, I'm sure Marilyn wanted to set the record straight. Did Marilyn need to be silenced?

Download or read book When Doctors Kill written by Joshua A. Perper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would come as no surprise that many readers may be shocked and intrigued by the title of our book. Some (especially our medical colleagues) may wonder why it is even worthwhile to raise the issue of killing by doctors. Killing is clearly an- thetical to the Art and Science of Medicine, which is geared toward easing pain and suffering and to saving lives rather than smothering them. Doctors should be a source of comfort rather than a cause for alarm. Nevertheless, although they often don’t want to admit it, doctors are people too. Physicians have the same genetic library of both endearing qualities and character defects as the rest of us but their vocation places them in a position to intimately interject themselves into the lives of other people. In most cases, fortunately, the positive traits are dominant and doctors do more good than harm. While physicists and mathematicians paved the road to the stars and deciphered the mysteries of the atom, they simultaneously unleashed destructive powers that may one day bring about the annihilation of our planet. Concurrently, doctors and allied scientists have delved into the deep secrets of the body and mind, mastering the anatomy and physiology of the human body, even mapping the very molecules that make us who we are. But make no mistake, a person is not simply an elegant b- logical machine to be marveled at then dissected.

Download or read book The Cult of Pharmacology written by Richard DeGrandpre and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-27 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America had a radically different relationship with drugs a century ago. Drug prohibitions were few, and while alcohol was considered a menace, the public regularly consumed substances that are widely demonized today. Heroin was marketed by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and marijuana was available as a tincture of cannabis sold by Parke Davis and Company. Exploring how this rather benign relationship with psychoactive drugs was transformed into one of confusion and chaos, The Cult of Pharmacology tells the dramatic story of how, as one legal drug after another fell from grace, new pharmaceutical substances took their place. Whether Valium or OxyContin at the pharmacy, cocaine or meth purchased on the street, or alcohol and tobacco from the corner store, drugs and drug use proliferated in twentieth-century America despite an escalating war on “drugs.” Richard DeGrandpre, a past fellow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and author of the best-selling book Ritalin Nation, delivers a remarkably original interpretation of drugs by examining the seductive but ill-fated belief that they are chemically predestined to be either good or evil. He argues that the determination to treat the medically sanctioned use of drugs such as Miltown or Seconal separately from the illicit use of substances like heroin or ecstasy has blinded America to how drugs are transformed by the manner in which a culture deals with them. Bringing forth a wealth of scientific research showing the powerful influence of social and psychological factors on how the brain is affected by drugs, DeGrandpre demonstrates that psychoactive substances are not angels or demons irrespective of why, how, or by whom they are used. The Cult of Pharmacology is a bold and necessary new account of America’s complex relationship with drugs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of a career that began in the late 1940s, Lenny Bruce challenged the sanctity of organized religion and other societal and political conventions; he widened the boundaries of free speech. Critic Ralph Gleason said, "So many taboos have been lifted and so many comics have rushed through the doors Lenny opened. He utterly changed the world of comedy."
