Medical Forum / General / General / February 2006~ * The Scarsdale Doctor ~ !
"The truth is that he was shot. The truth is that the bullets came from her gun. What is completely unknown is what motivated her." Dear Ms. Anne Bernays, Please reprint your NYT's Book Review of Ms. Shana Alexander's book on Ms. Harris, a very nice school teacher, Who went to jail ~ ! Drugs, sex, murder, books, & Rocky, too ~ ! http://www.hbo.com/films/mrsharris ... or is this just another New York Ride ~ ? "You know she claimed that she did not murder him. She claimed that it was an accident and that was what the whole trial was about. She was convicted of murder, but she said that it was her intention to go and actually kill herself and that somehow in this struggle they went through together, she ended up shooting him accidentally. But she was convicted of murder and served twelve years in prison for it. But she is a woman of enormous passion and I think one of the things that intrigues people about Jean and certainly intrigued me was so many of the things that she did seemed to be contrary to her own interests. Yet she was absolutely committed. For instance in the court room when she was on trial for murdering Herman Tarnower, her attorney desperately wanted to bring up all the supposed terrible things that he had done to her, that many people felt were justifiable to bring up and she wouldn't allow that. She didn't want anything bad said about him. Even when she was on trial for murdering him. So, she is a woman that is an enigma. I could never come to a conclusion about her." ~ Annette Bening Annette, Ms. Harris was addicted to diet pills, which Dr. Tarnover, her lover, prescribed for her. But her lover was f.cking somone else, and she was ghostwriting a book for him. And Dr. Tarnover abused Ms. Harris. Ms. Harris was suicidal, and likely, due to cognitive and emotional impairment, related to both abuse and the fact that her abuser provided her with the drugs, and likely, she did not have a reliable psychiatrist during such a time of Lethal Crisis. And she was sucidal, and there was a loaded gun in the house. I hope that helps. All the very best, Annette ~ Tell Warren and Shirley Hey ~ ! Virginia Hooper New York City "He probably warped her mind, Too." ~ Mer Loleil "Heck, yeah ~ !" ~ Folly > Re: ~ * The Scarsdale Doctor ~ ! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >But her lover was f.cking somone else, >and she was ghostwriting a book for him. There was no ghostwriter for "The Scarsdale Medical Diet" as, instead, the book's actual author, Tarnower's 50%/50% partner for that project, was Samm Sinclair Baker, a then noted diet book and "self-help" book writer whose name as author appears prominently on the cover and title page and advertisements for all published copies of the book. Tarnower's other lover than Harris, Lynn Tryfooros never claimed to participate in the book's writing and, in fact, she did not do so. From time to time during the Tarnower-Baker collaboration in writing the book, Jean Harris tried gratuitously to interject herself by giving notes to Tarnower about the draft which he in turn gave to Baker whereupon, in each instance, and without his bothering even to look at them, Baker promptly tore up deposited into his "circular file" (a/k/a, garbage). Harris did not write a single word that appeared in the Tarnower-Baker best-seller, except, perhaps, for the coincidence that she may have used words like "the" or "and" or "it" in her unilaterally proffered notes and those words do appear in various places in the published book. Thank you, My point remains the same. There is nothing funny about Insanity ~ And it can happen to YOU Under certain circumstances ... Any Healthy Mind Under circumstances of relentless Abuse Will eventually go INSANE To protect itself. The only other option Is SUICIDE. ~ * ~ Wearing handcuffs and carrying a book, Jean Harris is on her way to Westchester County Court, March 20, 1981 to hear her sentence after she was found guilty for the fatal shooting of Scarsdale Diet Dr. Herman Tarnower.

My mind unscrewed itself to enable me To survive ... Hey ~ ! I am STILL alive. My name is Virginia Hooper. I live in New York City. Any Healthy Mind Under circumstances of relentless Abuse ... Abuse can be passive, too, If in the hands of Authority, eg, A licensed healthcare professional, Something different from Garden ~ Variety Negligence.

Quoof!" ~ Thusly "The bubble burst and spilt its core But yet the dream has not been shattered: I see you - clearer than before ~ And I can love you even better." ~ William Blake, Jr. "Oof. Don't quit your day job ~ ! Long life, prosperity and chocolate." ~ Razzle Dazzle "Black limousine glitters A very fine sheen, even if your window Shield's Gone all Silver." ~ Twittering "The Moon is the Number 18 ... and sound is, is, is His, a Conjecture." ~ Randy |
