Patty's statement came just when the bewildering series of events surrounding her abduction in Berkeley, Calif., seemed to be moving toward a happy conclusion. At the direction of the S.L.A., the Hearst family and the Hearst Foundation (which supports medical charities) had given $2 million worth of food to the needy in the San Francisco Bay area. To demonstrate his seriousness, Hearst early last week persuaded the Hearst Corp., which controls eight newspapers and eleven magazines, to put an additional $4 million into an escrow account, where it was to be held for the S.L.A. until his daughter...
...revolutionary of her own free will in just 60 days of captivity. She was hardly a radical. Only a few weeks before the kidnaping, she had been happily picking out china in anticipation of her marriage to Steven Weed, 26, a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley. But Dr. Frederick J. Hacker, a psychiatrist and expert on terrorism consulted by the Hearsts, does not discount the possibility that she made the tape voluntarily.

Foster, a black who was Oakland...
...believed to be an escaped black convict named Donald D. DeFreeze. The theory that DeFreeze is not the true leader of the S.L.A. is supported by a man with a rare personal knowledge of the man and the organization. Colston Westbrook, 36, a black instructor in linguistics at Berkeley, met DeFreeze while visiting California's Vacaville prison to take part in the activities of the Black Cultural Association. The S.L.A. partly evolved from the group. Westbrook recalls De-Freeze as "a cat submerged in divine blackness and interested in black problems." But now, Westbrook says, "I think the honkies...
...students have always respected high officials," John Monro, the dean of Students, said angrily, denouncing "mob rule" and joining Dean Watson in an official University apology--one seconded by 2700 undergraduates who signed an apologetic petition. McNamaras called the apology "unnecessary," recalling his own student days at Berkeley, but Monro took to meeting with SDS members regularly, and Harvard activism took on a new importance, menacing or hope-laden depending on the onlooker...
