Charles Manson prosecutor Bugliosi comments on death of Manson follower
Susan Atkins, one of the followers of Charles Manson, died of brain cancer Thursday night in a California prison. She was 61. Atkins was sent to prison nearly 40 years ago after she admitted fatally stabbing pregnant actress Sharon Tate during the cult's murder spree in 1969. KPCC's All Things Considered host Alex Cohen spoke about Atkins' death with Vincent Bugliosi, who prosecuted Atkins and other members of the Manson family. Bugliosi said he was not surprised by Atkins' death.

Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

I read Mr. Bugliosi statements on the passing of Susan Atkins and I thought that was really nice to believe her that she has change and was completely turned christianity even though she didnt deserve that from her former prosecutor. I thought it was nice of him to make such a nice statement of that ,and show sympathy and considerate, and also on her compassionate release. Stephanie Pannozzo. HacHts,Ca. spannozzo@roadrunner.com
