Research Notes: WIlliam Ayers in 'Fugitive Days'

William Ayers had a girlfriend prior to his marriage to Bernadine Dohrn. Her name was Diana Oughton. So who was she? She was in the Greenwich Village Townhouse explosion. According to the forensics report, she was at the point of detonation for the explosion.

William Ayers volunteers the information that she had a fight with Bernadine Dohrn over the construction of the bombs. Dohrn wanted anti-personnel style weapons to be used by using roofing nails with the dynamite. Oughton wanted to stay with simple dynamite. Ayers suggests that it was Oughton who set off the bombs. How he would know this information is not discussed, we have to assume that Dorhn told him of the fight between herself and Oughton.

The target for the bomb was the NCO club at the US Army Base at Fort Dix.

The only survivors of the Weathermen who were at the site were Kathy Boudin and Cathlyn Wilkerson. Kathy Boudin went on to rob armored cars, and Cathlyn? She went to work training teachers in the New York School system.

UPDATE: It cant get any better than this, Bill Ayers speaks in a forum about the weatherman. Apparently, he hates Bush ( who knew!). Unfortunately the link shows me he has written more books that I will now have to read for the forensics exercise.

Gosh, He sure writes a lot, doesn't he?
