CNNs Patty Hearst Docuseries Shows Surprising Depth

CNN’s Patty Hearst Docuseries Shows Surprising Depth
Jeffrey Toobin's book on the kidnapped heiress was a mess. This telling is much better..I had left Berkeley by the time this happened. Have always been fascinated by the story. So far, this CNN series is brilliant. Opens with the real Steven Weed. Whoa...then the real Bill Harris narrating. No wonder Patty no likey.

There was no reason to expect anything different from The Radical Story of Patty Hearst. But, startlingly, Toobin proves himself a much better storyteller when the medium is video, at least for the first five hours or so.

A large part of that is due to the surprising presence of a couple of long-silent participants in the Hearst drama. One is Steven Weed, Hearst's fiancé (and, ahem, former high school math teacher) at the time of her kidnapping.

To many of the Americans following the case, Weed seemed a sketchy character from the beginning, a sexual wastrel in search of teenage nookie and a lifetime lunch ticket from a rich daddy.

The impression was bolstered in the tapes Hearst sent from underground proclaiming her conversion, which described him in progressively more brutal terms until cutting him loose as "a sexist, ageist pig" that she never wanted to see again. Up close, the picture got worse; Weed, in those days, apparently had some quality that his acquaintances found extraordinarily grating.

I've bumped into a number of them over the years and they all behave much like the proprietor of a hole-in-the-wall used book store in Southern California did when he saw me picking up a battered old copy of a book Weed wrote about the Hearst case. "I lived down the hall from Steve at Princeton," he said, shaking his head. "What an asshole!"

Why Weed, now a sunken-cheeked old man nearing 70, would want to put himself back in the line of this fire is a perplexing question. But he actually acquits himself quite well, relating small details of his life with Hearst that turn her from a tabloid caricature to the cute, charming teenager she really was. Weed even—rather gallantly, under the circumstances—defends her, decrying the portrait of a spoiled rich kid taking a walk on the wild side painted by Toobin: "I think it's not that simple."

The other surprise guest is William Harris, a bluff ex-marine who was part of the SLA team that grabbed Hearst and styled himself "General Teko" in the group's grandiloquent communiqués.

This man does not have the mental hardware for the job he holds..John Dean

JohnWDean

WaPo analysis shows Trump spends more time watching Fox News than LISTENING (forget reading, he doesn't do that) his daily intelligence briefings. This man does not have the mental hardware for the job he holds!

fauxianity...Lizz Winstead has a new word for Daddy Huckabee

Gov. Mike HuckabeeVerified

It's telling that leftists who think aborting babies is a "good" thing and will "save the planet" weren't aborted by their parents and even have THEIR own children. Elitist and twisted. Sad, sick, and yes, Satanic!

Lizz Winstead Retweeted Gov. Mike Huckabee

What is "Telling?" This gibberish you have cobbled together for this tweet is a cesspool of fauxianity.
