Rubin's one-dimensional attitudes are even more glaringly evident as
regards the murder of Holly Maddux, who appears to have been killed by her
boyfriend Ira Einhorn. Einhorn was a hippie activist who involved himself in
ecological and new age politics during the seventies - he was a very prominent
figure in the Earth Day and Sun Day events. Rubin was a friend of Einhorn and
used to let his Philadelphia based comrade crash at his New York pad when 'The
Unicorn' was visiting the Big Apple. In The
Unicorn's Secret: Murder in the age of Aquarius by Steven Levy (Prentice
Hall Press, New York 1988, p. 335), Rubin is quoted as saying: 'Ira betrayed everything I stood for and
possibly everything that he stood for ... The ultimate crime ... is that Ira
betrayed the sixties.' Rubin's fatuous self-regard is evident from the fact
that he considers it worse to tarnish an abstraction with which he identifies
himself - "the sixties" than to batter another human being to
death. The back cover of The Unicorn's
Secret features a prototypically callous puff from the media conscious
Rubin: 'The Unicorn's Secret blew me
away. Besides being an unforgettable murder mystery, it's a fabulous study of
our time. I really loved it.'
