In 1974, I was 12 years old and just beginning to follow the news. I remember following the Patty Hearst story in the papers as it was all going down. The kidnapping, the manhunt and then the shock of learning that she threw in with her captors and started robbing banks.

That whole Patty Hearst episode was a wild ride. The tabloids sensationalized that like you wouldn't believe. It was the "O.J" story of the 1970s.

That was a period when many insane leftist groups started robbing banks, blowing up buildings here and overseas, and killing people. Patty Hearst’s group wasn’t the only one. The left would like the public to forget about those things.
