Solanas consulted her male ally before attempting Warhol’s assassination

Evidence

Solanas was sufficiently impressed with Morea to enlist him in SCUM’s male auxiliary (“we can’t spare you, but we can save you for last”) and took him as an advisor. A few weeks later, in the tumult of the Columbia student revolt, in which the Motherfuckers participated, Solanas made her way to the Morningside Heights campus and, seeking Morea’s counsel, managed to penetrate the occupied Mathematics building. Was she perhaps thinking of the assault on Columbia professor Koch? What would happen, she asked Morea, if she shot someone. Morea recalls telling her it would depend on whom she shot and whether the attack was fatal. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 1157

• QUESTION: Did Solanas model her attack on the Motherfuckers’ staged assassination of Koch? The text raises but does not resolve this.
