Meanwhile, Patty Hearst's mother flew up from Los Angeles. A front-row seat was held for Catherine Hearst on Pacific Southwest Airlines' 4 p.m. commuter flight to San Francisco. She was a model of tightly controlled composure. Her black, high-necked cocktail dress was smooth and unwrinkled; the triple-strand choker of pearls was precisely in place; and her black alligator bag was set neatly...
...cheap seats sold for $50, and some front-row spots went for $10,000. At those prices, scarcely a ticket holder failed to appear at last week's Manhattan benefit for the Martha Graham Dance Company. The guest of honor of the evening, which starred Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, was First Lady Betty Ford in a flowing purple Halston gown.

...almost incidental. Robert Mardian, a top Mitchell aide at both the Justice Department and on Nixon's 1972 re-election committee, warmly shook hands with his former boss. Kenneth W. Parkinson, who had been merely an attorney for the Nixon committee, sat apart from the others on a front-row bench, almost as a spectator. Federal Judge John J. Sirica had separated the case of a sixth defendant, Gordon Strachan, because of legal complications caused by previous grants of immunity...
