I suppose that depends what you mean by public funds. But at the time of
his death, my father was getting social security payments of around
$1500/month. If I recall correctly, it would have been higher, but wasn't
because he was still working.

I know at least one senior that has averaged about $8000 a month
over the last year between social security and medicare.

Was he also getting any kind of medical benefits?


He would have been eligible for medicare, but since he was still working,
he had much better health insurance through his firm. So, I don't know if
the $2000 is literally possible, but I think he certainly could have come
pretty close if he hadn't continued working and had used all the benefits
available to him. Then, there was the $150 he got for being a County
Commissioner.g

Every food should be labelled with its calorie content, that
way people will soon learn to make wise choices

volumes by
the likes of Milo Speriglio (whom Slatzer hired as an
investigator), Anthony Scaduto, and James Haspiel, took their
lead from Slatzer. They all follow the above outlined formula:
the Kennedys were a rotten crowd (Collier and Horowitz); they
were involved in political assassinations (John Davis); and both
were having affairs with Monroe (Slatzer).

Tony, How Could You?

In the Monroe/Kennedys industry, 1985 was a pivotal year. Anthony
Summers dove into the quagmire-head first. He published his
Marilyn biography, Goddess.

In it, he reveals (shockingly) that he bought into Slatzer.
Slatzer is profusely mentioned in both the index and his
footnotes. So are people like Haspiel and Jeane Carmen. Carmen is
another late-surfacing intimate of Monroe. Carmen professes to
have been Monroe's roomie when she lived on Doheny Drive, before
she bought her famous home in Brentwood. She began circulating
her story after Slatzer did his bit. Of course, Marilyn's
neighbors at Doheny, and her other friends, don't recall her
(Spoto p. 472). But Summers welcomes her because she provides
sexy details about Marilyn's torrid romance with Bobby. A third
peg in Summers' edifice is Ralph de Toledano. Summers describes
him as a "Kennedy critic" in the paperback version of his book
(p. 453). This is like saying that Richard Helms once did some
work for the CIA. De Toledano was a former OSS officer who Bill
Donovan got rid of beca
