...When he was 12 years old, wanting to contribute in some capacity to the sports section of a newspaper, he took the initiative to write to the sports editors of all the papers in New York City, where he grew up. A New York Times sports writer responded and hired Clymer to collect high school basketball scores for the newspaper and eventually write minor sports stories...

Northwestern created a "family justice" center for Dohrn to run. Ayers is a "distinguished professor" at the University of Illinois. They write Op-Eds and are often quoted in the Tribune, where, if they are identified at all beyond their academic titles, it is usually as "activists" who have never abandoned their noble ideals. In 1995 the Trib reported on a party at their home to celebrate a new progressive website, designed...
