I just listened to Doug Henwood's interviews with Richard (Lenin's Tomb)
Seymour and Bill Ayers at http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio.html.
What a contrast. Richard is erudite and razor-sharp and Ayers is an
oozing pile of platitudes. When Doug asks Ayers what he hoped to
accomplish by setting off bombs at office buildings (he uses a rather
droll formulation: Did you hope to inhibit capital's ability to
reproduce itself--totally lost on the leaden Ayers), Ayers replies that
the Weathermen were issuing a "screaming warning". At the time Fred
Halstead of the SWP described such behavior as a 3 year old lying down
on the floor holding his breath until his face turned blue.
