The only people who were left collected in the mellow room, and the late-nighters who would keep it up past the dawn and had only then arrived jammed armchairs with gossip and marijuana before passing on.

The trial, said one lawyer-spectator, had all the elements of theater?"a script, actors, wardrobe, props." 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.
