Poster has a black and white photograph of a woman, Patty Hearst, holding a large machine gun. Behind her is a black shadow of the Symbionese Liberation Army seven headed cobra symbol. The bottom edge has "Tania" in large black letters. On April 3, 1973 SLA captive Patty Hearst announced on an audiotape released to the media that she had assumed the nom de guerre "Tania," inspired by the nom de guerre of Che Guevara's comrade Hayd_e Tamara Bunke Bider in Bolivia. This poster was the most famous image related to the SLA. [LMC]
