...life, Sara Jane Olson was a doting, upper-class soccer mom who drove a Plymouth minivan and was a dynamite gourmet cook. In another, she was a terrorist-and a totem of the age of violent radicalism that erupted during the 1970s. Olson - nee Kathleen Ann Soliah, the infamous Symbionese Liberation Army fugitive - was released Tuesday from a California state prison, seven years after pleading guilty to participating in a deadly bank robbery and planting pipe bombs under police cars...
