Great read! From 1981 about the Weathermen terrorist group. Same language used by the current Dem party today.

Wow! Wow!  And still more, Wow!  Thanks!   :hi5:

"Seeds" indeed.  So informative & relative to what is going on today.   I read the whole thing in one sitting ...

And kept saying aloud 'Holy Cow'  'OMG' etc., 'til Mr. ABC finally asked what it was that I was reading in here!

Info about Lucinda Banks, the author.

Quote

Lucinda Franks was born in Chicago and raised in Wellesley, Massachusetts. After graduating from Vassar College, where she majored in English, she got a job as a coffee girl at the London office of United Press International, where, as she says in the biography posted on her website, she dug up stories on her own time.

Eventually, she distinguished herself covering the violence in Northern Ireland, and was later transferred to the New York office of UPI.

There, she infiltrated the Weathermen, an anti-war group 

 Still in her 20s at the time, she was the first woman to win that particular Pulitzer, and the youngest woman to win any Pulitzer.
