Gatorade thirst quencher is a brand of sports drink currently manufactured
by PepsiCo that is distributed in over 80 countries. It was first developed
in 1965 by researchers at the University of Florida, to replenish the
combination of water, carbohydrates, and electrolytes the school’s
athletes lost while sweating during rigorous competitions. The name 
was derived from nickname of the university’s athletic teams, the
“Gators”, The drink was originally produced and marketed by Stokely-
Van Camp.

Newspaper heiress Patty Hearst was kidnapped by a urban guerilla group called the 
Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) from her Berkeley, California apartment. She 
ultimately joined her captors in furthering their cause and was apprehended after
having taken part in a bank robbery with other members of the group. Hearst, the granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, was imprisoned
for nearly two years before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy
Carter and was later granted a presidential pardon by Bill Clinton in his last
official act before leaving office.  

After her release from prison, Patty,now known as Patricia Campbell Hearst
Shaw, married her former bodyguard, Bernard Shaw. They have two children 
and reside in Garrison, New York. .
