Examining the case of Patty Hearst 50 years later
LA Times staff writer Chris Goffard joined Lisa McRee on "LA Times Today" to talk about the enduring mystery surrounding Patricia Hearst. Hearst, the granddaughter of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, was living with her fiancé in Berkeley, California when members of the Symbionese Liberation Army abducted her. Hearst and her fellow “urban guerillas“ robbed the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco in the spring of 1974. It becomes one of the most iconic images of the 20th century, this image of Patty Hearst, the kidnapped heiress now wielding a machine gun on behalf of the Symbionese Liberation Army,” Goffard said. Watch "LA Times Today" at 8 and 11 p.m. Monday through Friday on Spectrum News 1 and the Spectrum News app.

From the very beginning of the NBA season last year you could tell that there was a sense of frustration constantly brewing with LeBron James. Now, thanks to Netflix’s “Starting 5” series giving us a glimpse into the season of five NBA stars, we know exactly where that frustration for James was coming from. In a clip from the new series, James can be heard vehemently declaring his frustration with Darvin Ham’s minutes restriction as soon as the season started. He complained to the Lakers’ assistant coaches about the decision to keep him limit the time he spent on the floor. “I know you got me on [expletive] old man time percentages and [expletive],” LeBron James said.

Speaking at the White House on the government’s work to address Hurricanes Milton and Helene, Biden condemned the “reckless, irresponsible and relentless disinformation and outright lies that continue to flow." The White House, and Biden personally, have spent days decrying Trump for making false claims about the disaster response, including that federal funding is being diverted for use on people in the country illegally and that such assistance is capped at $750.
