Ted Jordan. Signet Book, $4.99 (304pp) ISBN 978-0-451-16912-9
Jordan alleges that he was fledgling model Norma Jean Dougherty's lover and lifelong confidant, even maintaining that he possesses her diary, only rumored to exist. He reports on her use of sex to further her career, her affairs with both men and women, and her death, which he calls an accidental suicide. ``This detailed albeit sympathetic account is disturbing and believable,'' said PW.
