Yes, I do recall that in Miss Marken's 10th grade English class there was some discussion of the Patty Hearst kidnapping, referring of course to the abduction of the newspaper heiress by the Symbionese Liberation Army. She was brainwashed by her abductors and photographed carrying a machine gun inside a bank, not a legal way to withdraw cash. Joanne contributed to some discussion of San Francisco because she considers herself an insider of Bay Area society, unlike myself, a person who doesn't care that much. If only there weren't so many problematics attached to the Bay Area, but whatever.
