The NBC News story headlined above lights up a dark corner of the 1960s' and '70s' countercultural carnival, one involving Philadelphia's highest-profile hippie guru: Ira Einhorn, also known as "the Unicorn," a preacher of love and flower power who was convicted of killing his girlfriend in 1977 and stuffing her remains in a trunk that he kept in his apartment. ---SNIP--- However spurious his Earth Day connection, his case is a must-read for anyone interested in the excesses of and bizarreness of the broadly construed hippie movement and the sorts of radical-chic enablers who help obvious sociopaths and psychopaths avoid the law. I first read about Einhorn in a Philadelphia Magazine excerpt from Steven Levy's excellent 1989 book, The Unicorn's Secret, which was published when Einhorn's whereabouts were still unknown.

Of all the inflammatory "incorrect" things I post on Fakebook every day, I wonder if this will be the stick poke that finally gets me [back] in jail?

Unicorn,” a **preacher of love and flower power** who was convicted of killing his girlfriend.
Don’t know why why but the media comes to mind.

Even though here in communist NYS there’s an annual arbitrary “burn ban” from mid March to mid May. I always have a ceremonial burn pile fire on Ira Einhorn day.
