The trial should clear up at least some of the mysteries still shrouding Patty's 19½ months with the Symbionese Liberation Army as Captive Patty and Comrade, willing or not, Tania Hearst. But unless and until Patty takes the stand, the overwhelming presence in the legal drama will not be the Hearst heiress herself but the man who will press her case in court: Boston Attorney F.

...feminist movement. Their heroines are Bernardine Dohrn, a leader of the Weather Underground, and Joanne Chesimard, a highly visible member of the Black Liberation Army.
