The unicorn's secret, c1988: CIP prologue (Ira Einhorn) data sheet (counterculture leader, guru, Philadelphia) Biog. index, Sept. 1973-Aug. 1976 (Einhorn, Ira, 1940- ; founder of Free University) New York times, 10 April 2020 Ira Einhorn; born Ira Samuel Einhorn on May 15, 1940 in Philadelphia, died April 3 in the State Correctional Institution Laurel Highlands in southwestern Pennsylvania, aged 79; counterculture guru who preached peace, then killed his girlfriend; the darling of Philadelphia's counterculture in the 1960s and '70s. A charismatic and flamboyant personality, he preached peace, love and environmentalism, and became a sought-after liaison in helping the city's civic establishment grasp the upheavals in society. Then his former girlfriend, who had left him, disappeared. Almost a year and half later, police found her mummified remains in a steamer trunk in his apartment. Before Einhorn's pretrial hearing in 1979, he fled to Europe, eventually marrying a wealthy Swedish heiress Annika Flodin, and settling down in a converted windmill in France; finally sent back to Philadelphia to stand trial in 2001) |
