Now he turned ashen. The verdict, he said bitterly, only fulfilled the prophecies of Patty's captors; he recalled that members of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army, who kidnaped Patty on Feb. 4, 1974, had warned her that "if you go back, society is going to be very harsh, and they are going to punish...
...experts wondered about what they considered the schizophrenic defense strategy of F. Lee Bailey. Complained Psychiatrist Willard Gaylin, president of the Society, Ethics and Life Sciences Institute at Hastings-on-Hud-spn, N.Y.: "There was confusion between brainwashing and coercion.

Adjusting the levers on his four-track console, Jamaican Record Producer Lee Perry does absent-minded dance steps on a patchwork carpet composed of Ethiopia's national colors. On the studio side of the control booth's soundproof window, a singer implores "Jah," the black god who many Jamaicans believe was Haile Selassie, to deliver him from Babylon. Seated on the floor are half a dozen musicians whose hair is plaited into myriad ominous, serpentine "dreadlocks." Each man reverently smokes a large, cone-shaped "splif" filled with marijuana, and all nod agreeably whenever the singer alludes to Africa...
