Some more details emerge from the article, such as Ayers and his equally unrepentant ex-terrorist wife, Bernardine Dohrn, creating false identities:
The deaths (from an accidental Weather Underground explosion in New York)—and two federal indictments—sent Ayers and his remaining comrades underground. The fugitives eluded the FBI for ten years through a series of constantly changing identities and locations. In one of the most haunting scenes in Fugitive Days, Ayers wanders through remote Midwestern cemeteries, looking for the gravestones of babies who, like them, had been born between 1940 and 1950 but had died shortly thereafter. It was from those headstones that the fugitives would build their new identities. Overall, Ayers figures, he had at least 12 separate aliases while living in 15 different states. The one he used most often was "Joe." Bernardine's favorite was "Rose," and to honor her, Ayers got the rose tattoo he now sports on his forearm.
Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, which makes him a state employee. My tax dollars are going to waste on him.
