Among other tidbits, the book reports that the jovial weatherman Willard Scott cut his honeymoon short to attend clown school and that the very first meal that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served her husband was an inedible tuna casserole.
In his book Mr. Ayers describes the Weathermen descending into a "whirlpool of violence".
In 2006, together with Paul Hudson, another weatherman, he wrote a book, Frozen in Time, about Britain's harshest winters.
Mr. Ayers returned to the public eye two years ago with the publication of a book, "Fugitive Days," about his life as a Weatherman.
If you want to feel your skin crawl, you may want to glance at a new book by Bill Ayers, a leader of the old Weathermen.
Tuesday night, there was a party at Blue Smoke for Al Roker, the avuncular weatherman of "Today," and for his new book, "Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue".
THURSDAY -- Al Roker, the NBC weatherman, will discuss and sign his latest book, "Big Shoes: In Celebration of Dads and Fatherhood" (Hyperion), at 7 30 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble store on Old Country Road in Carle Place.
Tracking the movement from its origins, in the late sixties, to its undoing, in the mid-eighties, the book follows six groups, ranging from the well known (the Weathermen) to the obscure (the Family).
Its actual route would forever change the course of the South, so much so that NBC weatherman Al Roker has made the storm the subject of his new book, The Storm of the Century: Tragedy, Heroism, Survival, and the Epic True Story of America's Deadliest Natural Disaster: The Great Gulf Hurricane of 1900.
One of the best-drawn figures in the book's universe (and Billy's) is Beth Jaffe, the analyst's daughter, who brings the S.D.S. and its Weatherman faction into this narrative.
