The four-person film crew from Bat Bridge Ent. in Austin, Texas, showed up a bit before 9 this morning to film me talking about the first big story of my journalism career. They stayed a few hours and we went back 43 years to the night the SLA kidnapped Patty Hearst.
My memory was pretty good, probably because I've been interviewed by three teams now on the topic. (Jeff Toobin's fine book is a good read on the topic. The other team was from HBO.)
Going back so far dredges up other memories about how I felt and thought in that era and how much I've learned in the decades since. Now I'm 70, and have been a journalist since I was 19, there are many, many stories I can tell and I am happy to do so when people ask.
