15 April 1974: Posters reading ‘We Love You Tania’ appear on bulletin boards at the University of California campus with a picture of Patty Hearst holding a machine gun. The 20-year-old daughter of Randolph Hearst, president and editor of the San Francisco Examiner, was a student at the university. She was identified by the FBI as one of four armed women who took part in the robbery of a San Francisco bank, although it was not determined if she did so of her own free will
