While the FBI was hotly pursuing clues found in her apartment, trying to determine what other acts of violence she may have committed, the mystery of Patty Hearst deepened again last week. Speaking to an old friend, Patricia Tobin, who visited her in jail, Patty described herself as a "revolutionary feminist" who was "pissed off" that she was captured. Her political ideas, she said, "are real different from a way back when." And, she added, she did not want to be released on bail if it meant being "a prisoner in my parents' home...

Catherine Hearst told an old friend in Atlanta, her home town, that her daughter "absolutely" needed psychiatric help, but that she was "not yet enough of a realist to be able to accept treatment. She is in and out of reality-and so nervous and pale. She's been through so much and she doesn't seem to be herself, of course...
