Bill Harris's Death Prompts Look Back at Symbionese Liberation Army

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 leading figure in the Symbionese Liberation Army, has died, prompting the New York Times to publish a retrospective on the radical 1970s group best known for kidnapping newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. Readers are revisiting the SLA's violent history, Hearst's Stockholm syndrome-style conversion, and Harris's later decades in prison and life after release.

Why now: The death of one of the SLA's last prominent members has renewed interest in one of America's most notorious radical groups.
