In 1974, Rapoport, a contributor to publications like the Atlantic, Esquire and Rolling Stone, went to work for New Times covering the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, a few blocks from his Berkeley home.

Weed moved into Rapoport’s house where they wrote a big advance book together on the case. Shortly before completion the former Princeton marijuana dealer who began an affair with Patty when she was a 16 year old student at the high school where he taught, sued to block publication of the book.

Kennedy as well as six of Hearst’s fallen Symbionese Liberation Army comrades.

Book Passage Corte Madera, California

Book Passage Corte Madera, California

Roger Rapoport visits Book Passage in Marin County on the 50th anniversary of the Patty Hearst kidnapping. Immediately after the 19 year-old media heiress was abducted from her Berkeley apartment on February 4, 1974, he began covering the story for New Times, newspapers and then went on to ghost write a book on the case with Patty Hearst’s fiancé. That book was never published, and now, half a century later, he revisits the case in his new novel Searching for Patty Hearst. The book draws heavily from that time and explores alternative theories of one of the most bizarre and polarizing crimes in American history. Rapoport gives voice to much of the story that fell outside the bounds of journalistic coverage

Searching for Patty Hearst is the Catch 22 of the radical terrorist actions in the latter part of last century. It is an amazing, clever re-creation of those troubling times. The ultimate California love story.
— Henry Massie, author of the Boy Who Took Marilyn to the Prom and Lives Across Time.

On the 50th anniversary of the Patty Hearst kidnapping Roger Rapoport offers an inside look at the unanswered questions surrounding this world famous abduction of William Randolph Hearst’s granddaughter from her Berkeley apartment.

In 1974, Rapoport, a contributor to publications like the Atlantic, Esquire and Rolling Stone, went to work for New Times covering the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, a few blocks from his Berkeley home. His exclusive reporting focused on the life and times of Steve Weed , the fiance the Symbionese Liberation Army left behind as these revolutionaries stuffed the love of Weed’s life into a Chevy trunk and sped off into the night.

Weed moved into Rapoport’s house where they wrote a big advance book together on the case. Shortly before completion the former Princeton marijuana dealer who began an affair with Patty when she was a 16 year old student at the high school where he taught, sued to block publication of the book. The following year one of Rapoport’s relatives, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler (best known for the Onion Field Murders trial), presided over a key trial that included Patty Hearst as a defendant with two of the SLA members.

After covering the San Francisco Hearst bank robbery trial in 1975 he went on, thirteen years later, to score an exclusive Oakland Tribune with Bill Harris, the man who actually kidnapped Patty Hearst and wound up fleeing cross country with her and his wife Emily Harris.

While others let the story rest he interviewed Dr. Thomas Noguchi the coroner to Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin and Robert F. Kennedy as well as six of Hearst’s fallen Symbionese Liberation Army comrades. Year after year Rapoport continued to pursue people who refused to go public and ultimately became convinced that nonfiction accounts of the kidnapping, including Patty Hearst’s own account of her life on the run with her kidnappers, fell short. His novel Searching for Patty Hearst offers a new look at this fascinating story. More details are at pattyhearst.com

ANN ARBOR EVENT ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF  ANATOL RAPOPORT
Sep

ANN ARBOR EVENT ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ANATOL RAPOPORT

I join University of Michigan Professor Shirl Kopelman and Anthony Rapoport for this panel on the remarkable life and times of Antaol Rapoport. You can read more about his escape from Ukraine during the Russian civil war here and about his war for peace in this article. Anatol was my second cousin.

All of us were fortunate to have known Anatol (1911-2007) as a father, friend, and colleague. He was a mathematical psychologist, philosopher, acclaimed concert pianist, and pioneer of peace research and education. In a lifetime of thought and action, in hundreds of articles and numerous books, he developed insights into human conflict and cooperation. His ideas are now more relevant than ever. During his long career at the university he helped found the teach-in movement focused on the Vietnam war.

He became a leading scholar of game theory, general systems theory, conflict resolution, and peace research. He focused on cooperative games, which illustrate the pitfalls of conventional strategic thinking, and the potential for mutual benefit. His famous Tit for Tat strategy for the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma is a stroke of genius, a way to win without winning.

This sounds like a paradox, but it works. Yet, Rapoport cautioned about the use and misuse of game theory, especially in international relations. He noted that it helps us understand how people think. It does not prescribe solutions to societal challenges.

Note that the entrance to this event is on Observatory Street. For more information please contact Gary Krenz gdkrenz@umich.edu

Waterwalk 10th Anniversary Screening With Steve Faulkner

Waterwalk 10th Anniversary Screening With Steve Faulkner

Steve Faulkner, author of Waterwalk, the memoir that inspired this award winning film will introduce the film and sign his book at this 10th anniversary event.

When fathers quit their jobs to spend more time with their families, no one ever asks the family if they want to spend more time with them. And when fathers are laid off, they are often nervous about seizing this opportunity to know their children. Work becomes a convenient way to avoid spending uninterrupted time with their sons and daughters.

After Blue Lake, Michigan, newspaper editor Steve Faulkner is laid off, his 17 year-old son Justin could have easily stepped aside and watched his dad frantically search for another job. Instead he persuades his workaholic dad to join him on the trip of a lifetime, a 1,000 mile canoe journey retracing the Marquette/Joliet discovery route of the Mississippi. Together they travel along Lake Michigan's northern shore, through Green Bay, up the Fox, down the WIsconsin and finally the mighty Mississippi.

Braving rough water, big storms, flood stage rivers and portaging larger sections of the heavily dammed Fox, the Faulkners nearly run out of money, become minor celebrities and confront the ultimate challenge presented to fathers who leave their jobs to spend more time with their children, boredom. Paddling hour after hour they discover that they don't read the same books, watch the same movies and television shows or even know the same songs. Trying to kill time they end up singing the only music they both know, Christmas carols in July. A journey through middle America, Waterwalk is a memorable look at an archetypal journey that defines our nation and informs the heart. More details at https://waterwalkthemovie.com/.
