Leno and Rosemary La Bianca were “straights”—as different from hippies as they were from the Tate victims. La Bianca was a businessman, the president of a supermarket chain. His wife was the owner of a ladies’ dress shop. They lived in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles, an area of solid upper-middle-class working citizens.

The car that approached their house about 1 A.M. on August 10, 1969, was crowded with young killers. The four who had burst into the Tate estate were now joined by Leslie Van Houten—and by Charles Manson.

Manson was not at that time the bearded figure of evil who later became familiar to millions of Americans. He was clean-shaven, small and wiry. He slipped out of the car, holding a gun, and disappeared into the darkness toward the La Bianca house. Less than thirty minutes later he was back. “They’re ready,” he said.

“What happened?”

“A husband and wife are in there. I tied them up and told them, ‘Don’t worry. We don’t intend to hurt you.’”

Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinkle and Leslie Van Houten left the car and walked quietly toward the La Bianca house, where a frightened businessman and his wife had been promised that no one would hurt them.
