Patricia Cambell Hearst was attending the University of California in 1974. She was nineteen years old and the granddaughter of press tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Hearst was engaged to be married to her math professor, Steven Weed. On the night of February 4 three members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, better known as the SLA burst through the door of her home in Berkley. Wood was at her home with her at the time. The SLA beat …

…a bakery. A bakery is a bank. Cinque called it this because he said, “that’s where the bread is.” The SLA began planning, getting ammunition and disguises. On April 15, 1974 the SLA robbed the Hibernia Bank. Cinque had told Tania that she was to give a speech to the hostages saying that she was doing this under her own free will. While in the bank, Tania froze and could not utter a word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
