-aumber. This unexpected Finding suggests that comm nications with, the SLA with regard to any negotiations employ even numbered values. Such unconscious - occultism is characteristic of those who seek to displace responsibility for their hostility and. violence onto forces outside of their control. It is, however, the reaction of one for whom the superego is overly developed. Cinque is the opposite of the psychopath, far from tacking conscience, all of his behavior is directed toward an unsuccessful attempt to Silence his | conscience. It is this characteristic thich makes him vulnerable to effective management and should assure his captive's safety. Based upon my analyses, in my opinion, Cinque would not be capable of the decisiveness ofa cold- blooded execution of Patricia Hearst. At the most he could only tolerate her death by means outside of his control and given his dominant superego that is extremely unlikely. I am convinced that any group who would use Cinque as its spokesman must have characteristics which are | similar to his; that he represents their combined alter-egos. As such I cannot reconcile the Oakland murder with the personality characteristics of | the group holding Patricia Hearst. Nor do these characteristics match those of the actions of the more recent kidnapping of the so-called East _ Symbionese Liberation Army. Murray S. Miron Syracuse University
