" One day Manson tried with me. I stared right back, holding his gaze until his hands started shaking. During the recess, I slid my chair over next to his and asked, "What are you trembling about, Charlie? Are you afraid of me?"
"Bugliosi," he said, "you think I'm bad and I'm not."
"I don't think you're all bad, Charlie. For instance, I understand you love animals."
"Then you know I wouldn't hurt anyone," he said.
"Hitler loved animals too, Charlie. He had a dog named Blondie, and from what I've read, Adolf was very kind to Blondie. "
