>And the Weatherman? They are almost all either dead or in jail. >Jeez.

not quite. At least two of them are alive and well and work in Chicago. In fact, Bernardine Dohrn teaches at Northwestern last I heard and runs a legal aid clinic for disenfranchised women and children. She and her husband, Bill Ayers, also a former Weatherman leader, have kids and live in Hyde Park.

Other former Weatherman members are scattered around the country, including NYC.

I believe only one of the former Weather Underground is serving jail time. And it's for a botched bank robbery undertaken while with a fringe group. and dead...I'm not sure. There is an interesting documentary called "The Weather Underground" available at your local blockbuster that would dispel your statement.

At least a few former Weatherman members work hard for peace and justice--within the bounds of the law.
