Amazon Reviews of The Unicorn's Secret - Part 2
And now the conclusion of the book reviews that was started in the prior segment. Amazon has a bunch of fools, but these fools read the book that Ira doesn't want you to read. Of course it just depends on who you care to give your trust. Levy's book damning in more ways than one...

Maniacal Ira Einhorn Still Hides In France . . ., May 12, 2000
Hard to believe that I was about 5 years old in a suburb of Philadelphia when Holly Maddux's body was found in a trunk in Ira Einhorn's apartment . . . even harder to believe is that he managed to escape and has been living in France for all these years. This book is fabulous . . . I was totally engrossed in it from page 1. Being from the Philadelphia area, I was somewhat familiar with the case, but reading this book opened up so much more to me about Holly, her family, and this monster, Ira Einhorn. He was a small-town nobody, the founder of Earth Day who thought the world revolved around him. What a shame that Holly got involved with him and could have been so naive and easily fooled. The pictures are disturbing -- she was such a beautiful girl, and Ira such a fat, disgusting, ragged-looking oaf. It does not seem to make sense. Then again, it shows how manipulative and sneaky Ira really was. Fascinating story, May 4, 2000 This is a gripping story, made all the more tragic because Einhorn remains free in France. It paints the picture of why liberal activists are so often not benevolent, but selfish, sometimes psychopathic. People with huge egos like to pat themselves on the back, which is what fuels their activism: selfishness NOT selflessness is what so often fuels the public liberal. Einhorn is a (very) extreme example of that. Sometimes the scum, and not the cream, rises to the top (as Einhorn did for a time). France should be ashamed of themselves for harboring him. To read more about psychopaths (of which Einhorn almost certainly is) read the nonfiction WITHOUT CONSCIENCE. Reading that book will help you spot true evil before it happens. Maybe Holly would be alive today if she'd had that book.

Intersting Subject Badly Written, July 8, 1999 I watched the miniseries to this story and was fascinated so I went out and bought the book. However I was extremly dissapointed in the book. It takes the author foreve to put Maddux and Enihorn together, and when he finally does he only leaves them together for a hundred pages or so. Very well researched, June 3, 1999
I saw the movie and it sparked an interest in the story. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the book is. It is well researched and paints a very clear picture. I can't put it down.

This book is far more than a whodunit. It is a wonderful history of the politics and pop-culture of the 1960s and 1970s and it provides in-depth character analyses of all of the central players. This one really puts "The Age of Aquarius" in perspective! Was the Unicorn a murderer or framed by secret operatives? The revelations in the last chapters provided an unequivocal answer for me.

Even though I knew how the book was going to end, I actually found myself applauding Holly as she began to discover her strengths and pull away from Ira and resolutely decide to remove herself from his life. What if she had been able to do that? How wonderful (for everyone) if that had happened . . . but Ira would not let anyone leave him. He considered Holly to be his possession, and was not about to let anyone get away from him so easily. It amazes me that he was able to escape detection for so long, and that his friends and acquaintances actually trusted and believed his stories . . . even after Holly's body was found. How does one explain that? A body is found in your apartment and you expect everyone to believe you had nothing to do with it? That there was a conspiracy against Ira Einhorn? Get real! Ira was a nobody -- no one would waste their time conspiring against him. The book was fascinating and frightening at the same time. Much better than the TV movie about the case (which, I admit, sparked my interest and convinced me to buy this book). I recommend it to anyone who is at all intrigued by the case, or anyone who is a fan of the true-crime genre. It is a page-turner, a tale that will sicken and sadden you all at once. Unfortunately, it is a story without a resolution, since Einhorn is still in France and has not been brought to justice -- and that will make you seethe with anger.

Excellent, | By | Robert Platt "montraville" (NY NY) - See all my reviews |
This review is from: The Unicorn's Secret (Onyx) (Paperback)
Reviewers below think UNICORN'S SECRET was too tedious and didn't get to the point quickly enough. I disagree. The book is as much about the 60's as it is about Einhorn and Maddux. You need this background to understand the characters, especially Einhorn. You learn Einhorn's will to power actually played a more substantial role in his politics than any altruistic or ideological motivations. Einhorn was addicted to the leadership role, and let politics define who he was in a way that truly twisted his personality. We see this over and over again, even today, in such movements as the Christian Coalition, and Leonora Fulani's "social therapy."
UNICORN'S SECRET, along with David Harris' DREAMS DIE HARD (about another tragic murder of a 60's radical) help more fully define the decade for history.
Intersting Subject Badly Written, What the author seems to focus on is Enihorn's philosphies and promiscuity. This gets extremly tedious and boring.
I give the book three stars because it did give some intresting insight into who Holly was. The miniseries made her seem so sweet and inconnent and the book really described her. That was interesting.

Amazon Reviews of The Unicorn's Secret - Part 1
So where better a place to find out the public perceptions of Ira Einhorn than Amazon? I thought it would be fun to include a bunch (one dozen in all) reviews of Steven Levy's book that he compromised his soul to produce, The Unicorn's Secret: Murder in the Age of Aquarius.

True Crime in the Age of Aquarius, March 20, 2010
The Ira Einhorn/ Holly Maddux murder story. This is a pretty interesting and compelling true crime because the main characters are quite interesting. Ira Einhorn could have succeeded in many professions but chose to pursue a "career" as a hippie activist involved in activities such as the first "Earth Day" event. Einhorn, a smooth talker, managed to ingratiate himself not only with the counterculture but also with numerous businessmen who saw him as a useful conduit for information on market trends and creative thought. (Isn't it nice that we have the Internet to find those nuggets now, so people don't have to rely on the likes of Einhorn and his packages of media clippings?) Holly Maddux, the victim, actually was a fairly self-sufficient woman who had traveled the world on her own and held down a physically intensive job in a Buddhist bakery. When she finally got tired of Einhorn's ego and assorted shenanigans and began a relationship with another man, Einhorn couldn't take it. Soon her body was found in a trunk in his closet and he had the gall to claim the government framed him for the murder, then jump bail and flee to Europe with the help of his rich friends. Fun fact: Einhorn's attorney at this point was none other than Arlen Specter. Although not reflected in the edition I read, Einhorn was eventually extradited (after the case was featured on shows like "America's Most Wanted" for years), tried and is now serving a life sentence.
I realize the 70s were a prime time for mistrust of the government and wacky thinking in general, but it's hard to see how people could be so naive as to buy into Einhorn's act. Indeed, some of the silly ideas set forth in the book made me want to laugh out loud though murder is hardly a humorous subject. I gave the book only four stars because it's not really clear what the "Secret" is until you get almost to the end of the book - you think it's the body in the trunk, but it's not - and also because, while you do get some sense of dynamics of Einhorn's and Holly's relationship from things like diary entries and a few friends, I really didn't get a good sense of why these people were together as long as they were. Holly could easily do a lot better for herself and it's hard to believe the portrait painted of her as somewhat insecure because it contrasts so much with her other life experiences described in the book. Did she get a kick out of being the mate of a seemingly powerful man? Did he blubber and tell her he needed her? It just wasn't really clear. I would have also liked to hear in detail from a few more of Einhorn's other women.
Unicorn killer book, March 11, 2009
Most of the times the book is better than the movie but in this case I think that the movie was better. I liked the parts of the book best that discussed Holly & also her relationship with Ira. Some of the parts of the book that discussed Ira's views & beliefs did not hold my interest all that much. Ira's views and beliefs are really out there.
Decent Book, The Real Story, June 19, 2007
This book has every detail you could ever want on Ira Einhorn and the murder of Holly Maddux. Given the evidence the author presents, it's difficult to see Einhorn's innocence.
But the book is fair-minded. Holly Maddux is not portrayed as a totally naive innocent. In many ways, she is shown as a selfish decadent child of the late 1960s. It's also proper to note that Holly repeatedly returned to Ira over the years, despite the objections of many caring people in her sphere. Was Ira truly manipulating her? Not according to this book.

THE UNICORN'S SECRET: MURDER IN THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, August 4, 2002
I have no doubt that the material contained in this book is as factual as the writer portrays. I did find it difficult to keep up with the changes in time, setting and circumstances of the characters. Perhaps the writer feels that this is a way of sustaining the suspense, but I found it distracting. Overall, I was interested in this man who was recently brought back to the US to stand trial for the murder of his girlfriend. I did learn a lot about him and that is good background for what will inevitably be Court TV material soon. It might have been helpful to the reader to have a psychiatrist's view of Holly and why she did not leave Ira when she was obviouly drawn to another man. I almost gave up on this book before reading the "secret" revealed in the last chapters. Good account of Ira Einhorn who was evil before he killed Holly.

The seductiveness of Social Movements, | By | Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) |
This review is from: The Unicorn's Secret: Murder in the Age of Aquarius (Hardcover)
Ira Einhorn was a child of the Age of Aquarius. He was not only a child, though, he was an instigator, planner, creator of that weird era. He became leader of a social movement and no story better illustrates the power of such media-driven movements. First of all, they have the ability to make ordinary people interpret the world in terms that differ from reality. Thus, we are subjected to daily litanies of the awful environment while the US (again) tops the UN list of nations with the cleanest water and safest food.The other power of social movements is the manner in which all sorts of crimes are permitted for the "good of the movement". Ira was a showman who not only caught the leading fads and trends but created them. Thus he joined New Age idiocy (UFO's, ESP, conspiracies at every corner) with ecology where he was the instigator of the preposterous "Earth Day", a celebration that has now become a financially successful cottage industry. Add to that radical politics, drugs and sex and one has the recipe for a disaster. Repeatedly he outwitted politicians who attempted to cash in on the latest craze. Through sheer showmanship and continual media self-promotion he established himself as the man around town.
Around this time enter one Holly Madux, former high school cheerleader from Texas and susceptible to his many charms. Five years later she "disappears". Skip forward and her body is found in Ira's apt, he is arrested and with the help of Arlen Specter (R-PA) he is released on a $40,000 bond and skips the country. He resurfaces in Ireland only to disappear again. Finally, in 1997 he was caught in France, still proclaiming his innnocence.
Friends felt he had deserted "the Cause" though he is fondly remembered for his power as an organizer, facilitator and power broker - perhaps his true calling. His private life was, of course, much different from his public persona and apparently involved cruelty toward his lovers. In his latest interviews one almost gets the sense of entitlement for commission of a crime due to his past actions. A sad, touching, horrifying, eye-opener of a book.

More on Sarfatti's theories about the Einhorn Affair
Among the many related issues to the claims that Ira Einhorn was framed for the
murder of Holly Maddux to silence his activism in areas threatening exposure
of corrupt interests of the real parties responsible for this murder, the UFO
issue and related mind control and advanced weaponry aspects have been quoted
in media articles along with reference to the physics discussion list of Dr.
Jack Sarfatti, a longtime Einhorn acquaintance and collaborator, whose [now,
very old] email list included former and present CIA science authorities.

Yes, thanks for this useful link. Jacques Vallee has been acting covertly and
inconsistently lately re: UFOs. Publically, he is no longer involved, yet I
know for a fact he is still actively involved with a key well financed UFO
investigative organization. One reason for this, I surmise, may be his
intimate collaboration in the 70's with Ira Einhorn on matters UFO and also
the ARPA net precursor to the Internet. Einhorn is now in Vallee's country of
origin, France, protected by the French government for a horrendous capital
crime that IMO he did not commit. My own informed guess on what really
happened in Philadelphia in 1977 was that Holly met her death not by Ira, but
possibly by an overdose, maybe self-administered, may be not, as was common
in that crowd at that time, e.g. book Edie by Jean Stein and George Plimpton.
Ira has been quiet about relevant sordid details partly to protect Holly's
reputation. Ira had pissed off Mafioso Mayor Frank Rizzo and his corrupt DA
and police homocide goons who formed Central American style Death Squads. See
the film "The Thin Blue Line" for the true story of what was going on in the
City of Brotherly Love back then. Ira, away most of the incrediblly long 18
months between Holly's alleged death and the finding of her remains in a
storage room outside Ira's actual apartment, was clearly framed. He was tried
in absentia by a Kangaroo Court by a judge who personally hated him and
should have recused himself from the case. Fortunately the French Government
who approved the COMETA UFO report are not stupid.

Specter: Just doing my job as his lawyer
I couldn't find the date of this one, but I'm guessing it's around 2000, possibly 1999. It is another article but has some worthy quotes from Arlen Specter, Ira's lawyer in 1979.
He was only doing his job.
He was only doing his job.
That was how U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter described his role as a private lawyer 20 years ago in getting low bail for Ira Einhorn, launching the hippie guru into 16 years on the lam in Europe.
Lawyer and radio talk-show host Michael A. Smerconish asked Specter yesterday if he had any regrets about his role in freeing Einhorn after Einhorn's arrest in 1979 in the killing of his girlfriend Helen "Holly" Maddux.
"I was doing my job as a lawyer," Specter said on the call-in show. "That's what a lawyer is supposed to do."
Einhorn, then 38, was arrested after Maddux's battered body was found in a trunk in Einhorn's apartment. She had been dead about 17 months, police said.
At a bail hearing before Common Pleas Judge William M. Marutani, Specter asked for bail for Einhorn of $5,000.
The district attorney's office asked for $100,000.
Marutani compromised and set bail at $40,000. Einhorn made the required 10 percent, was turned loose and soon fled the country.
That was the only time Specter represented Einhorn, who could not afford Specter's high fees.
Specter suggested that his successors in the DA's office have been less than diligent in going after Einhorn.
"The law has to be very tenacious in pursuing him and bringing him back to justice," he said.
"When I was district attorney, I didn't ask anyone else to do my job," Specter said. "The district attorney has a lot of power and a lot of leverage. I would be interested to know what kind of surveillance Einhorn is under."

Jack Sarfatti (born September 14, 1939) is an American theoretical physicist and the author of a number of popular works on quantum physics and consciousness. He is known for his iconoclastic ideas, and is interested in what he sees as the breakdown of the paradigm that posits science and the humanities as separate disciplines, arguing that physics — which he calls "the Conceptual Art of the late 20th Century" — [ [http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/article/id773/pg1/ weird science] ] has replaced philosophy as the unifying force between science and art. [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1997/08/17/SC46892.DTL The Universe, As Seen From North Beach] ]
Sarfatti's main interests lie in Timothy Leary's "SMI²LE" program of space migration, intelligence increase, and life extension. [ [http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/article/id773/pg1/ weird science] ] His views include Colonel Phillip J. Corso's speculation that UFOs may be of extraterrestrial origin or could be "terrestrial time ships" originating from our own future; that parapsychological phenomena may be real; that "retro-causal" (future-to-past) faster-than-light communication may be possible; and that space travel could be achieved by a controlled, possibly "psychokinetic" (mind manipulating matter), local warping of "emergent curved and torsioned" spacetime. [ [http://stardrive.org/ufos.shtml UFOs and the New Physics] ] in "the fuselage of the flying saucer using nano-engineered 2D quantum wells with anyon condensates" ("Super Cosmos").
He is the author of the self-published books "Super Cosmos" (2005), "Destiny Matrix" (2002), and "Space: Time And Beyond II (Dark Energy)" (2002), and co-author with Fred Alan Wolf and Bob Toben of "Space-Time and Beyond: Toward an Explanation of the Unexplainable" (1982). He is a frequent contributor to Usenet [ [http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author%3ASarfatti&qt_s=Search Google Groups search] ] and has set up a website where he discusses his ideas. [ [http://stardrive.org Stardrive] ]
Academic background
Sarfatti was born in Brooklyn, New York to Hyman Sarfatti, an Italian Sephardi Jew from Macedonia and his wife Mildred. [ [http://www.qedcorp.com/pcr/pcr/si05.html UFOs and the New Physics] ] [ [http://hnn.us/readcomment.php?id=15653 Stephen Schwartz lies] ] [ [http://www.stardrive.org/Jack/dad.pdf My Story by Hyman Sarfatti] (pdf)]
He completed his B.A. in physics at Cornell University in 1960, where he wrote an honors thesis under the guidance of Hans Bethe, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. His first published paper, "Quantum-Mechanical Correlation Theory of Electromagnetic Fields," appeared in 1963 in "Nuovo Cimento", the journal of the Italian Physical Society.
He obtained his Master's, also in physics, from University of California, San Diego in 1967, and in the same year, "The Goldstone Theorem in the Jahn-Teller Effect," which he co-authored with Marshall Stoneham, was published in "Proceedings of the Physical Society of London", and "Laser Self-Focusing Analogue to the Landau-Ginzburg Equation of Type II Superconductivity" in "Physics Letters". [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1997/08/17/SC46892.DTL The Universe, As Seen From North Beach] ]
From 1967-71, he worked as an assistant professor of physics at San Diego State University, obtaining his Ph.D from University of California, Riverside in 1969, where he wrote his thesis under the supervision of Fred Cummings. In 1970, he and Cummings co-authored "Beyond the Hartree-Fock Theory in Superfluid Helium," which was published in "Physica Scripta" in Switzerland. [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1997/08/17/SC46892.DTL The Universe, As Seen From North Beach] ]
From 1971-2, he was employed as a research fellow under David Bohm, the American quantum physicist, at Birkbeck College, London. [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1997/08/17/SC46892.DTL The Universe, As Seen From North Beach] ]
From 1973-4, he worked with Abdus Salam, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979, at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.
He then left academia. In 1975, Dr. Sarfatti founded the "Physics Consciousness Research Group" to do research on parapsychological phenomenon such as telepathy. This research group was funded by Werner Erhard.
Thereafter, he worked at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. In 1999-2000 at Joe Firmage's ISSO exotic propulsion group in San Francisco with a budget of several million dollars.

Observation of Uri Geller
On June 21, 1974, Sarfatti was one of a number of scientists and other interested parties — a group that included Arthur C. Clarke, Arthur Koestler, David Bohm, John G. Taylor, Bernard Carr, [ "Can Psychical Research Bridge the Gulf Between Matter and Mind?" Bernard Carr "Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research", Vol 59 Part 221 June 2008 ] and John Hasted — who conducted observations of Uri Geller while the latter displayed what he said was telekinetic energy.
Sarfatti was initially impressed by Geller, and commented: "My personal professional judgement as a Ph.D. physicist is that Geller demonstrated genuine psychoenergetic ability at Birkbeck, which is beyond the doubt of any reasonable man, under relatively well-controlled and repeatable experimental conditions." ["Science News", vol. 106, July 20, 1974, p. 46.] He later revised this opinion after discussing the matter with James Randi. He wrote in a letter: "On the basis of further experience in the art of conjuring, I wish to retract my endorsement of Uri Geller's psychoenergetic authenticity." ["Science News", December 6, 1975, p. 355.]
Bernard Carr on Jack Sarfatti
Bernard Carr makes the following comment that outlines some of Jack Sarfatti's ideas regarding the relationship of quantum theory and consciousness:
**"More generally, Jack Sarfatti [ Jack Sarfatti, 1998, with M.C. Levit, [http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/9704029 "Are the Bader Laplacian and the Bohm Quantum Potential Equivalent?"] , "Causality & Locality in Modern Physics" (Series: Fundamental Theories in Physics, Vol 97), Kluwer Academic Publishers, pp 353-358. ISBN 0-7923-5227-0 ] has argued that signal non-locality could still be allowed in some form of ‘post-quantum’ theory which incorporates consciousness. He regards signal non-locality as the micro-quantum limit of a more general non-equilibrium macro-quantum theory. The relationship between micro and macro quantum theory is then similar to that between special and general relativity, with consciousness being intrinsically non-local and analogous to curvature. His model involves non-linear corrections to the Schrödinger equation and may permit retrocausal and remote viewing effects (2002)."
