Workin' At Travelers Aid-ISS Revisited (9)

 After discovering in the 1970's the then-Hearst Corporation corporate board member's Westchester County residential address, I then checked out a New York City metropolitan area map that contained a detailed map of Westchester County and, on the map, located more exactly the road on which this then-East Coast-based Hearst media conglomerate board of directors member then, historically, lived.

And, to check out how possible it might be to respond to the massacre of the mid-1970's SLA members with some kind of militant action by the house (and likely mansion) of an East Coast-residing Hearst media conglomerate executive, I took a commuter train from Grand Central Station, on one Friday night after work at the Travelers Aid-ISS office, up to its last stoop in White Plains, New York, in Westchester County.

And, from the train station, I then continued walking north to the outskirts of White Plains, until I started to reach the more exclusive, more forested neighborhoods and much more deserted roads around Purchase, New York--but not around the area adjacent to or near SUNY's Purchase College campus.

Locating the general and exclusive Westchester County neighborhood of mansions and estates in which this particular then-Hearst Corporation board of directors member then lived, however, I realized that, having seen only one other person walking along the road in the early evening hours (a young white woman who looked like she was still of college age, lived with her super-rich family in one of the mansions, and who seemed to automatically assume, because I was white and young, that, like her, I also just lived in one of the mansions in the neighborhood and, therefore, posed no male threat to her personal safety on the deserted road), it would be difficult for any individual on foot to initiate some kind of militant action at the East Coast Hearst Corporation board member's mansion and estate; and still be able to walk back to a more populated neighborhood soon enough to avoid being noticed by cops or witnesses.

U.S. Left Movement people on the East Coast who wanted to respond to the massacre by fire of SLA urban guerrillas by doing some kind of militant action at the East Coast mansion of this particular then-Hearst Corporation board of director member would need to have access to a car, in order to have the possibility of making a quick getaway, without first being detected by local cops or witnesses.

After checking out the exclusive Westchester County neighborhood scene for awhile, I then continued walking west on deserted roads all night until, shortly after dawn on a Saturday morning, I arrived near a small airport, which the rich local residents who owned private plans in Westchester County used to land their private planes on.

And, from the airport, I then walked on, until I reached one of the commuter train stations, bought a ticked for the next Saturday morning train going back to Manhattan, and then hopped on the earlies morning train that went into Grand Central Station each Saturday morning.
