Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 2 October 1943
[I Ching hexagram] 44.
“King’s Row”. It seems a bit rough on a girl to christen her” Randy” though it certainly showed foresight. And I’m glad not to have been the patient of the brilliant—”good”-doctor who poisons his daughter & kills himself because his wife shews signs of mental disturbance! His rival, also “good”, murders or mutilates his patient because he doesn’t approve of their moral standards! All incredibly American. The hero signs up a girl as insane because she wanted to tell the truth about No 2, but finally relents to please his girl.
