Patricia Hearst

“Hearst Told to Testify in Olson Case” (Oct. 26) lumps Patricia Hearst with Sara Jane Olson and the Symbionese Liberation Army as if she were a voluntary member: “Both Hearst and Olson have enjoyed a lifestyle they once would have condemned as ‘bourgeois.’ ” Hearst was the kidnap victim.
Hearst was a bourgeois college student (nothing wrong with that) looking forward to her wedding when she was abducted by this group of terrorists and forced to do unspeakable things. That she was convicted of being a willing member was a miscarriage of justice.
