Thirty-eight years ago, Cathy Wilkerson and her friends plotted to blow up soldiers at a dance at Fort Dix. Instead of killing servicemen and their dates, the Weathermen blew up Wilkerson's father's Greenwich Village townhouse. How did the sons and daughters of privilege become amateur revolutionaries? Read my review of Cathy Wilkerson's memoir Flying to Close to the Sun at First Principles, ISI's new webzine.

Too much time on their hands?

Very well written review Dan, thanks for the link!
