print email comment close The Manson Myth URL: http://crimemagazine.com/04/manson,1212.htm Description: This 2004 article considers the myth of Charles Manson as "the possessor of a charisma and sexual magnetism so extraordinary that he ruled a 'Family' of fanatically devoted followers willing to kill at his command." The article concludes that "the real life Charles Manson was not some charismatic leader gone bad, but a pathetic figure from the very beginning." From Crime Magazine.
