President Valery Giscard d'Estaing shuns a large security force, once walked a foreign visitor back to his hotel late at night, and enjoys driving himself about in his silver Peugeot 504 with a car of security men in tow. He has of late given up an initial penchant for trying to lose the back-up car in the whirls of Paris traffic. On routine trips into the countryside, four or five agents of the Service of Official Trips accompany the President, a force that grows to 25 when he is confronted with large holiday crowds. As in most...
...from happening, a special security group provides 300 bodyguards for leading federal officials, their offices and homes. Trained in the use of firearms and hand-to-hand combat as well as criminal psychology and identification, officers sit outside the door to Schmidt's office, precede and follow his car in security vehicles, and see that he travels frequently by helicopter, making security considerably easier...
...good chance. On May 16, 1974, authorities maintain, Patty took part in a bizarre shoplifting incident at a Los Angeles sporting-goods store.

...already linked Patty or her companions to two jobs. On Feb. 25, the Guild Savings & Loan Association in Sacramento was robbed of $3,700. Authorities say that the apparent leader of the holdup was a man described as resembling Bill Harris. The driver of the getaway car was a young woman. Going through the material found in the Harrises' apartment, the FBI turned up a scrap of paper that connected the group to the robbery of the Crocker National Bank branch in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael on April 21. The ski-masked bandits-three men and a woman...
Patty has been loosely linked to the Carmichael bank job in yet another way. On the license plate of the repainted car, authorities found the fingerprints of Steven Soliah, 27, the "Charlie Adams" with whom she moved into her San Francisco apartment. Also on the license plate were the fingerprints of one of Soliah's sisters, Kathleen, and of a friend, James Kilgore. Kathleen Soliah is now being sought for general questioning. Authorities suspect that Kilgore was the man who hired a San Francisco mover on Sept. 21 to carry a wicker basket to a vacant...
