What in the world would make such an intelligent, well spoken, successful woman become so obsessed with someone who really treated her in a beyond off handed, disrespectful manner. I have no idea if it was an actual suicide attempt gone awry. Betty Broderick made that claim when she shot her ex-husband, and I never bought that explaination for a second. But, with Jean Harris? I'd say it might be plausible.

No matter the case, I hope her spirit is finally at rest.
