Rovaan, ..A million thanks. ……….. If only one thing gets trough to people in all of these Fuhrman associations I hope that it will be the fact that his subconscious does more in bringing them together than his planning. ……….. The fact is, I did not recall (consciously) anything about the two-headed eagle or Frankenstein’s How I Did It book when I ordered the movie from Amazon. The last time I saw the movie was on television sometime in the 1980s. I remembered that it was very funny, well cast, well directed and the sets were fabulous. That’s why I thought I ordered it. Only when I saw it again did I realize how it tide into so many things I was working on with Franklin, gold, and the U.S. Mint in Tale of Two Coins. ……….When Fuhrman went ballistic over the If I Did It book and interview, a few of us KNEW immediately that it had more to do with him than it did with what he said about O.J. Some of us even speculated that that the he feared the content of the book might have given him away as the killer or led some people what hadn’t thought along those lines to start doing it. But the invective he heaped upon Judith Regan was mystifying. ……….Mark Fuhrman wrote the number on bestselling book to date about the O.J. Simpson case. It made him a star and the book is still in print. This was the perfect opportunity to promote the O.J. book, which, in turn, would allow him to stir up renewed interest in his first bestseller. Instead, he went after Judith Regan, who admitted to setting up O.J. to make it appear that he was confessing to the murder as though she were the mother of all evil. He knew that O.J. had already been paid but he did not fix on the idea that the money should go to the plaintiffs in the civil suit. He knew that ghostwriter for the offending chapter was Pablo Fenjves and that the “working title” of the book was Regan’s. He, like so many others, expressed outrage at the title. That’s what he blamed O.J. for. But, as the author of several bestselling books he knew that Regan was responsible for the title. ………..I don’t think Regan go the idea for her title from Young Frankenstein – a Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder comedy. It think she got it from the last two words “I Did It” with the “If” tacked on the front to make her case that O.J. was confessing by using the hypothetical “if” as a thinly disguised cover. But you can see by the Frankenstein book title that that you can do the same thing by putting “How” in front. After all, the controversial part of the “O.J.” book was supposed to be “his” description of how he did it. I think that this is what touched off Fuhrman’s explosion – the fact that he saw how SHE did it and his fear that others would see how HE did if they made the connections between Fuhrman and O.J. in the Frankenstein book on how to make a monster. –Jasper
