...really believed her, even when she took the Fifth Amendment," said one juror. But the evidence patiently brought out by Prosecutor James L. Browning Jr. led them to believe that Patty was lying, despite the efforts of Defense Attorney F. Lee Bailey and his staff. There was the photograph of Patty on the day of her arrest, defiantly flashing the clenched fist signal of the revolutionary. There was the testimony of Zigurd Berzins, the electronics technician who said he saw Patty retrieve two dropped ammunition clips and one or two cartridges for her carbine as she entered the Hibernia Bank...
...convenience of the photographer and his client, many of the posed photographs are now taken long before or long after the event. "The formal of the bride," James Purcell of Bachrach Studios remarks, "is taken two weeks before the wedding with fake flowers. They photograph just as well." But the difference is visible; the formal portraits of more recent date are stiffer, more defensive.

But it is a legitimate science, in that the American media recognizes such speculation as worthwhile, and newspapers and the networks allow...
Cross-Fade,, one of Nikolais's genuinely mixed-media works, touches on man's egoism, and the individualist's haughtiness and vanity. The work begins as one dancer poses with pelvis thrust forward, one dancer poses with pelvis thrust forward, one hand positioned smugly behind his head. His photograph and then a larger-than-life silhouettte is thrown on the scrim. More and bigger photographs follow as other dancers join in, all lit by a bronze glow, enshrining them as perfect Renaissance nudes...
