Milo Speriglio, director of the 76-year-old Nick Harris Detective Agency, said after spending more than a decade investigating Mon- .roe's death, "I can say with 1,000 percent accuracy that she was mur- dered." But Theodore Curfee, the cor- oner when Monroe died, was quoted by the Torrance, Calif., Daily Breeze as saying, "The case is closed. If [someone] doesn't believe it was suicide, it's a free country." Speriglio said the "red diary" would prove Monroe did not com- mit suicide, as believed, 20 years ,ago this Thursday. A CIA spokesman in Washington said the story of the alleged murder plot, was "absolutely false, totally absurd." Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/16: CIA-RDP9O-00552ROO0404360012-3

THERE ARE ONLY QUESTIONS. --Jean Malaquais 'w` /?^`.% k? t HARLOT HIGH AN) Low WAS .the English title given to Splendeurs of uris''res des cour- tisarres, one of Bafzac's best novels. The book was con- cerned as much with secret police as with the prosti- tutes who passed through its pages, but then whores and political agents made a fair association for Balzac. The harlot, after all, inhabited the world of as if. You paid your money and the harlot acted for a little while---when she was a good harlot-as if she loved you, and that was a more mysterious proposition than one Would think, for it is always mysterious to play a role. It is equal in it sense to living under cover. At her best, the harlot was It different embodiment of a fantasy for each client, and at those moments of existence most intense for herself, the role she assumed became more real than the reality of her profession. A harlot high and low. The pores of society breathe a new metaphor--the enigma of intelligence itself. For we (10 not know if the people who make our history are more intelligent than we think, or whether stupidity rules the process of thought at its highest Level. Is America governed by accident more than we are ready to suppose, or by design? And if by design, is the design sinister? Are the actors playing roles more intricate than we cx- peel ? "frying to understand whether our real history is public or secret, exposed or---at the highest level- -under-ground, is equal to exploring the opposite theaters of our cynicism and our paranoia, For instance, we may be getting ready to decide that the C:IA was the real producer of Watergate. (that avant- garde show!), but where is the proof? \Vc have cone to a circular place. The CIA occupies that region in the modern mind where every truth is obliged to live in its denial; facts are wiped out by artifacts; proof enters the logic of eounterproof and we are in the dream; matter breathes next to antimatter. There are Americans whose careers ate composed of fact. One does not begin to comprehend . certain men without their collections of fact. It would probably h:o crucial to know if Harry S. Truman had been happy or angry On a given day since that would enter' the event of the day. He lives on an elementary level of biography. There are personalities, however, like Marilyn Monroe, for whom there are no emotional facts. It does not matter on any particular occasion if she was pleased or annoyed, timid or bold, even successful or unsuccessful, tier mood did not matter on a. given clay since she would ns easily be feeling the opposite five minutes later. Morcrncr, she was an actress, She was able to simulate the opposite of what she felt. Since she was surrounded by people in show business who felt no need to be accurate if that interfered with a good story, one could not begin to discover the facts about such a woman, only the paradoxes. It may be that the difficulties in coming to know Marilyn Monroe Intellioence. Approved For Release 2005/01/11 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000300510034-9
