Demurely chic in a rust-colored brushed-corduroy pantsuit and green blouse, Patty settled herself calmly on the witness stand after the jury came back into court. Bailey took up a protective stance beside her. Prosecutor Browning then started to ask Patty about 20 documents taken from her and the Harrises' apartments after she was seized. The documents, Browning had said, showed that the defendant had spent the missing year "casing banks."

She is Oriana Fallaci, 45, world-roving and world-renowned practitioner of the clawing interview. A small and frenetic figure in slacks and a faded maroon corduroy jacket, she swept into her Rome office from an Athens flight one recent morning, dumped her suitcases on the floor, answered a number of telephone calls (sometimes two at once), ordered a glass of Fernet Branca. Then she turned to TIME'S Jordan Bonfante and submitted herself to what many...
