Waiting for this moment, crowds began lining up every morning hours before the trial began. Security was so tight that spectators had to pass through a metal detector before entering the teak-paneled courtroom. All were hypnotized by the now familiar question: Could an attractive Hearst heiress really willingly have joined her kidnapers, the tiny violent sect known as the Symbionese Liberation Army? And-as the Government charges-did she willingly help rob a branch of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco on April 15, 1974? Patty's defense, announced weeks ago by Attorney F.

...Crofwell, 28, testified that Berg made a pass at him last year in Italy. Berg denied the charge. While admitting homosexual acts with three civilian males during the past seven years-plus heterosexual activity-Berg denied having sex with anyone in the armed forces, and called for a lie detector test to prove it. Berg does not advocate blanket acceptance of "blatant" homosexuals or bisexuals, but thinks he should be judged solely on his competence as a naval officer and his ability to keep his sex life separate...
