I hope Toobin's book is more insightful than O'Rourke's review. He spends most of the article describing all the things Toobin neglects to address, and then ends by saying the book was "thoroughly engrossing." Huh?

Patty Hearst is as much of an enigma today as she was in the 70s. But she's also such a non-factor in contemporary American life that she's not an enigma I lose any sleep over.

Like Fawn Hall, Megan Marshack, Mike McQueary and a host of others who endured their own moments of undesired public scrutiny and then went on to quiet lives, I wish Patricia Hearst nothing but peace.
