Bill Ayers' comrade in the Weather Underground ........ Mark Rudd, is described in this book:
Older New Yorkers will remember Mark Rudd as the enfant terrible of the 1968 Columbia University strike, when radical members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) occupied administration buildings and President Grayson Kirk's office. Their stated rationale: To protest the university's plans to build a new gym in Harlem, thereby expropriating land and homes belonging to poor African-Americans and to end any research connected to the war effort. But their real goal, Rudd writes, was "not just ending the war [in Vietnam] but ending the capitalist system that had caused the war."
