...chewing, self-professed revolutionary with the giddy grin of bravado who was arrested last September. Now, at long last, she took her place on the witness stand and sat demurely, just as she had been taught years ago. Her name, she told the hushed assembly, was "Patricia Campbell Hearst...
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?

A quiet and thoughtful man, he had been troubled even before the kidnaping by some of the social injustices decried by the S.L.A. He did not complain when the S.L.A. demanded that he dig deeply into his $2 million net worth to distribute food to the poor. But Randolph, too, is said to have grown bitter since her return-bitter...
