Through five grueling months of scandal, Tripp has been cast in at least three unflattering, even cartoonish roles. First, she was the Betrayer, who secretly taped the phone conversations of a love-struck friend.

When you've lived as strange a life as PATTY HEARST's, you learn not to do things regular people do, like open your mail.
