New York times WWW site, viewed Nov. 20, 2017 (Charles Manson; No Name Maddox, as he was officially first known, was born on Nov. 12, 1934, to a 16-year-old unwed mother in Cincinnati (many accounts give the date erroneously as Nov. 11); his mother, Kathleen Maddox, briefly married another man, William Manson, and gave her young son the name Charles Milles Manson; d. Sunday [Nov. 19, 2017], in a hospital in Kern County, Calif., aged 83; had been behind bars for most of his life; one of the most notorious murderers of the 20th century, who was very likely the most culturally persistent and perhaps also the most inscrutable; came to irrevocable attention in the late 1960s as the wild-eyed leader of the Manson family, a murderous band of young drifters in California; convicted of nine murders in all, he was known in particular for the seven brutal killings collectively called the Tate-LaBianca murders, committed by his followers on two consecutive August nights in 1969)
