Marilyn Baker (1929-20010 covered many major stories during her long career in print and broadcast journalism. After beginning her career as a newspaper journalist, she joined KPIX-TV in San Francisco in 1974. She is best known for her award-winning investigation of the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst by the militant group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), and expanded her initial reportage of the case into the book Exclusive! The Inside Story of Patricia Hearst and the SLA. Hearst, a descendant of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped from her Berkeley, California apartment by the SLA in 1974. She alleged that her captors, radical leftists, then brainwashed her and forced her to denounce the capitalist "crimes" of her family. She was also forced, she claimed, to participate in a series of robberies. Hearst traveled across the country with the SLA until September 18, 1975, when she was apprehended by FBI agents in San Francisco. She went on trial and was convicted in March, 1976 of bank robbery and felonious use of firearms. She served three years of a seven-year sentence and was released in February, 1979. Baker was also involved with investigating the controversial Zebra serial murder case, when seventy-one whites in the San Francisco area were killed by black extremists between 1972 and 1974. She had a reputation as an aggressive journalist who did not shirk controversy. Her stories on guns and on Santa Cruz won local Emmy awards. More

Ball is best known for books that explore race through family stories, including Life of a Klansman: A Family History in White Supremacy (2020) and Slaves in the Family (1998). Edward Ball was born in 1958 in Savannah, Georgia to a religious, southern family. He is a son of Episcopal priest Theodore Ball and Janet Rowley Ball, a bookkeeper. Ball grew up in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana, as his family moved following his father's church assignments. Edward Ball received a B.A. from Brown University in 1982 and an M.A. from the University of Iowa in 1984. Slaves in the Family is a biographical historical account written by Edward Ball, published in 1998. The book is an account of the author's family origins, dating back to when they first arrived in America. It also outlines the lineage of the slaves long ago owned by his ancestors. Ball follows the stories of these people over many years as the families dispersed. Over time, the family earned the reputation as "the most prominent of South Carolina plantation owners." The author explores genealogy and history, via interviewing descendants from both groups. Stories from the black families are intense and varied, practically lacking in any kind of bitterness. The book depicts his family as being not the cruelest of slave owners. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998. More
