An investigator into the drug overdose (服药过量) death of Marilyn Monroe 43 years ago Friday still is not convinced she killed herself. John W. Miner, who investigated Monroe's death as a Los Angeles County prosecutor, claims Monroe's psychologist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, played him secret audiotapes made by the star during one of her therapy sessions【C1】before her death. A key【C2】 of the alleged (所谓的) tapes, according to Miner, is that Monroe was not【C3】_________ and was actively planning to become a serious, Shakespearean actress. Miner says he took careful, hand-written notes of the tapes and later produced a near-exact transcript. There is no【C4】________ Miner's claims are true, since Dr. Greenson is now dead and no one else claims to have heard the tape. "You are the only person who will ever know the most【C5】_______thoughts of Marilyn Monroe," she allegedly told her doctor. In Miner's transcript, Monroe discussed her plans to【C6】Shakespeare. "No【C7】person could possibly think that the person who made those tapes killed herself," Miner said. She also may have recorded her feelings about having to【C8】 off her romance (罗曼史) with Robert Kennedy. "There is no room in my life for him," she allegedly said. "I guess I don't have the【C9】 to face up to it and hurt him. I want someone else to tell him it's over. I tried to get the president to do it, but I couldn't【C10】________him."

One moment Jones was watching Reilly play around with the other children at this【C1】________of moms and kids last July. The next moment he was gone. Jones turned to her friend Maschel Rawlings and asked, "Have you seen Reilly?" Rawlings stood, scanned the pool and【C2】________screamed. Reilly was【C3】facedown in the deep end. What happened next was a【C4】 textbook response: As Rawlings dived in the pool,【C5】the boy, rolled him over and swam him to the edge, their host, Lisa Roth, rushed into the house and called 911. At the pool's【C6】, Rawlings handed Reilly up to his mother. His skin was blue, his eyes had rolled back in his head. He wasn't breathing. Jones laid him next to the pool, and Rawlings, who'd taken a CPR course with Jones just four months earlier,【C7】________began rescue breathing. Hanging up the phone, Roth, a former flight attendant who'd had seven CPR courses over the years, ran back out to the pool and took over CPR from Rawlings. Three long minutes went by with Roth breathing into Reilly's mouth and performing chest compressions while Rawlings and Jones【C8】________his condition. Gradually his color returned, and then, just as paramedics were arriving on the scene, Rawlings looked at Roth. "He's breathing," she said. The【C9】with which the women acted saved Reilly's life. Linda Jones finds it hard to express her feelings for her two friends. "I'm eternally【C10】 ," she says simply. "They did everything right."
