...fact that FBI agents on May 17, 1974 stood by during the massive assault on the Los Angeles hideout of the S.L.A. that killed DeFreeze, Wolfe, Atwood and three other members. With the Harrises, Patty had watched the gun battle on TV in a nearby motel. To Patty, the attack was proof that the FBI would not hesitate to kill her. The agency's apparent callousness toward her caused her to fear for her life. She recalled: "The commentator said everyone believed I was in the house...

Kennedy knew if he placed the time of the accident at 1 a.m. it would destroy his story about driving Mary Jo to the ferry and her motel in Edgartown. What motives would the press assign to a handsome Senator alone with a woman at one in the morning? The delay in reporting the accident can be attributed more to fear than it can be to an involved and co-ordinated conspiracy...
