4 Th3 D-ly T&r Hscl Wednesday, October 4, 1978 Weuths Cy MARIANNE HANSEN SUIT Writer Vincent Bugliosi, in collaboration with Ken Hurwitz, has exposed the public to yet another example of blood, gore and human perversity, laced liberally with his personal decency, philosohpy and appreciation of his own abilities. His vehicle is Till Death Us Do Parr, (W.W. Norton and Co. $10.95 384 pp.), the true story of two grisly murders committed by a pair of long-time lovers, who kill spouses to collect considerable insurance payments. Bugliosi devotes the' first half of the book to a reconstruction of the. events widely surrounding the two originally apparently unconnected crimes and the police investigation of them. In the second part he gives an account of the trial that led to the conviction of the lovers on a number of charges, hi strategies during the trial and hu comments on the rules under which the American judicial system works. The book centers around Alan Palliko, a ne'er-do-well who, in spite of his other failures, has remarkable success with women, finding one after another willing to devote herself to him and believe that he loves her, or at least that he needs her. One of the women is Sandra Stockton, a divorcee who remarries her first husband after a period of freedom that included an affair with Palliko. They form a relationship that lasted through her remarriage and a whole series of his women. One morning while Stockton, and her young son are conveniently-visiting a Because there's going to be nothing 7iC0 C:C3 a tt J '" ' ' 1 1 . i.i-i- "IZZj J ' V ,- ' ',W,Wnw3iJ " " Pir wt Ficr-wess !resss .... ms.M ,!tm...-..:.'iZtt&Mm& Written by Tommy Chong &Cheech Marin IDJ JOHN DELUSHI DONALD SUTHERLAND NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANL HOUSE 3:3 7:10 C:I3 mmmssmmam ""'"Vimi EAST 77 0 OOlCS Till DeathJJs Do Part Vincent Bugliosi Ken Hurwitz friend she hadn't seen in years, her husband is shot five times and their house set on fire around him. The blaze is discovered before the flames reach his body. Stockton,- considered a suspect almost from the beginning of the long unsolved case, collects a great deal of money from her husband's insurance and begins spending it on trips to Vegas and the like. She is accompanied by Palliko who also begins to spend heavily, investing in a bar. The story switches back to Palliko, who is married to a young woman, who is twice, the victim of a hit-and-run driver. The accidents were worth $5,000 above medical expenses each; the second of them happened only four days after she jokingly suggested to him that she would have to be hit again if they were to pay for a mink stole they had been looking at. After his first wife leaves, Palliko starts in again on his womanizing, if indeed he could ever have been said to have stopped. He ends up with a new wife who, soon after their marriage and shorter time after the establishment of an insurance policy on her life, is shot three times and bludgeoned as she parks her car one night. These are the crimes that Bugliosi was able, working purely from circumstantial evidence, to convince a jury that Stackton straight about a CICEECtl & CHOffG film.

His reasoning about the sequence of events, his sudden flashes of insight, his deliberate choosing of courtroom stategies, taken with the tension of the unfolding trial, make the second half of the book easily the better part. The writing generally is clear, the action quick-paced and exciting, though the tone do remind one a bit of Dragnet at times. The strong but coarse delineation of the characters stands out among both the good and bad points of the book. On the one hand, it permits the reader easily to form a mental image of the actor described, no small feat in a story which involves at least 15 people in significant Volunteer program helps young people in. trouble "We like to think of it as the first step toward helping lost children," Mary Eder says about Volunteers for People, a program designed to help troubled youths in the Chapel Hill area. Eder and her husband are the chairpersons of the VFP Board of Directors. VFP began in October 1976 under a grant from the -Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. Eder said the funds ran out after the first year and the organization is run now "just by people who have time to keep it going. VFP is designed to help "children in need of a friend neglected children, those who are not understood by their parents or who get in with bad company," Eder says. These children are referred to VFP by Juvenile Court counselors, the Department of Social Services, police, schools and mental health centers.

Whether this excitement outweighs the negative impact of the rather two dimensional characterizations mast be a matter of personal taste. It is certainly a problem. It is probably best, however, not to do too much of this sort of probing into a book that is primarily intended to be read for amusement.
