Then tne FBI began to get some breaks. TIME has learned that one key factor leading to the capture was that Patty and her companions-the Harrises and Yoshimura-were abandoned during the summer of 1974 by other radical underground groups. In particular, they were shunned by the Weatherman, the most violent revolutionary organization of the late '60s and early '70s, because of an incident that occurred in Manhattan. At the time, the S.L.A. fugitives were using a West 92nd Street apartment that had been a Weatherman hideout. Pursuing Patty, FBI agents not only discovered the sanctuary...
KATE McSHANE (CBS, Wednesday, 10 p.m. E.D.T.) is Comedienne Anne Meara dressed up as a lady lawyer, defending difficult cases and causes-just like a dozen male actors who previously impersonated a right-minded mouthpiece.

If convicted, Moeller could be sent to prison for a total of 60 years on six counts...
Thirty-two FBI offices had helped unravel the crime. Ironically, it was the red-herring reference to the Weatherman that brought the FBI into the case at the outset. The alleged conspiracy sounds something like a Mannix plot on TV-with a few Fellini-esque wrinkles. According to the indictment, Moeller paid $50,000 in company funds to David Bubar, 47, a trim, wavy-haired Baptist minister and self-proclaimed clairvoyant from Memphis who purports to have foreseen a variety of specific deaths, illnesses and other disasters. Bubar met Moeller about ten years ago, became his spiritual guru and ultimately...
