Since they both come from poor peasant families, Robert and Yvette consider their present lifestyle, hard as it is, an improvement over what they knew as children. They have a television set, a washing machine and a secondhand Peugeot station wagon, and Robert, like all French workers, gets a generous five-week vacation every year.

...fire through the bank's glass door. The bullets hit two men passing by outside, Peter Markoff, 59, and Eugene Brennan, 70, and both received severe stomach wounds. Once outside the bank, DeFreeze fired again, at Pharmacist Ken Outlander, 62, but missed. The bandits raced away in the station wagon, their escape covered by the four accomplices in the Hornet. Police and FBI agents could not identify the four people?either four men or three men and a woman?but believed that some were among the five S.L.A. members sought in Patty's abduction. They are Angela Atwood, 25, Emily...
