...apartment in Berkeley, Calif., on Feb. 4, 1974 by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army. On April 15, with a carbine cradled in her arm, she appeared with S.L.A. members during the robbery of a San Francisco bank. After six of her S.L.A. companions were killed in a violent shootout with Los Angeles police on May 17, Patty disappeared. Last month, on the eve of the anniversary of his daughter's kidnaping, Randolph Hearst admitted: "We don't know anything about Patricia. We don't know where she is, and we don't know whether...

The fight had no known motive, though the housing patrolman had been out on the town drinking. To shocked New Yorkers, last week's deaths were the latest in an unparalleled month of carnage...
...stuck in the back of someone's brain that should have stayed there. In any case, the crucial scene in Paperback Hero is the closing one. A small-town Canadian yahoo stands in the middle of the main street, decked out in gunbelt and stetson, calling for a Shootout with the local members of the Mounted Police. If such an image seems both unpromising and unlikely, what appears before and builds up to it is no better and not even as interesting...
