520 J. Paul ("Little Paul") Getty III, the grandson of Getty
Oil founder J. Paul Getty, may have been cursed by money
and privilege from the moment he was born. Falling in with
the wrong people and practically abandoned by his famous
family, Getty was a child of his international jet-set era,
moving from Marrakesh to Rome, from nightclubs to well-
appointed drug dens. His high-profile kidnapping defines
the decade--and was permanently memorable for the ear that
was mailed to his mother as evidence of the kidnappers'
intentions. Uncommon Youth is richly reported, and
includes many interviews with Getty himself conducted from
the late 1970s to the early 2000s that raise new questions
about the case. How much did he acquiesce to the
kidnappers? Why wouldn't his rich-as-Croesus grandfather
pay the ransom, which began at the equivalent of $550,000
in lire and bulged to $3.6 million as the months dragged
on? -- p. [2] of jacket.
