Original: After Death of Bill Harris, a Look Back at the Symbionese Liberation Army https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/us/sla-symb
Bill Harris, a former member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, has died, prompting The New York Times to publish a retrospective on the 1970s radical group best known for kidnapping newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. The piece revisits the SLA's history, Harris's role in the group and its violent campaigns, and the decades-long aftermath of one of America's most infamous episodes of domestic extremism.
Why now: The death of a key SLA figure has renewed interest in the group's history and its connection to Patty Hearst.
