...Symbionese Liberation Army died in a Shootout with police, Patricia ("Tania") Hearst dropped out of sight. Last week she and Fellow Survivors William and Emily Harris surfaced in a 33-minute tape-recorded message clandestinely delivered to radio station KPFK in Los Angeles. In it the newspaper heiress heaped scorn on her parents, vowed to fight on against "the pigs," and revealed that she had taken an S.L. A. member as her lover...
...ashes from the holocaust and Shootout in Los Angeles had barely cooled last week when law authorities declared that they finally had the answers to two of the most persistent questions about the Patty Hearst saga. They were convinced that the newspaper heiress had really been kidnaped by the Symbionese Liberation Army on Feb. 4 rather than taken part in an elaborate ruse to join old friends. But they were also persuaded that Patty had since joined the cause of the shattered S.L.A. and become a terrorist herself...
...Campbell Hearst became a public event. Millions of Americans watched last week as television carried live the Shootout in a Los Angeles residential neighborhood between lawmen and members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, which had kidnaped-and claimed to have converted to radical terrorism-the 20-year-old publishing heiress.

Yet last week Bridget Rose Dugdale, 33-year-old daughter of a British insurance tycoon, was in jail-again. The blonde, Oxford-educated million-heiress was accused of masterminding and directing the largest art theft in recent history: last month's looting of 19 masterpieces, including paintings by Goya and Gainsborough, from the Irish manor home of Mining Heir Sir Alfred Beit.* The art works, valued at $20 million, were recovered intact two weeks...
Only three months ago, Patty Hearst was a quiet, comely heiress to a famed publishing fortune who spent much of her time preparing for her intended marriage to Steven Andrew Weed, 26, a graduate philosophy student. Kidnaped on Feb. 4 by the obscure revolutionary band that grandiosely calls itself an army but is more of a ragtag platoon, she seemed close to release two weeks ago, after her family started a free-food program for the Bay Area's needy and aged that the S.L.A. had demanded. Then she stunned her family and friends by announcing that she had renounced...
