Nothing about the holdup of a Stockholm bank in 1973 followed any expected story line. Firing shots into the ceiling and shouting in English, “The party starts!,” an ex-convict named Jan-Erik Olsson seized three bank employees, all women, as hostages.

A former archbishop of Canterbury has said the job can lead to Stockholm syndrome. Lord Williams said he would advise the Church of England’s next spiritual leader to have friends outside of the Church so “you don’t think the institution is the whole universe”.
