Um, THEY BOMBED THE PENTAGON. <br /><br />I get what was behind a lot of this movement: white guilt, feelings of angry helplessness, and an over-identification with the Black Power movement (which now seems a mixture of embarrassing and downright dangerous). But still: it's like a car wreck I'm craning my neck to see. <br /><br />Following the post-Weatherman careers of the members is also pretty interesting--you have the still-ardent radicals, like Ayers and Dohrn, alongside Mark Rudd's obvious regret and haste to condemn. Guess no love was lost, hey? <br /><br />Good post. I always like to hear more about this topic.Jillian Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390209706878297787noreply@blogger.com
