If one wants to analyze the Weatherman/woman types in terms of social backgrounds, it is quite apparent that a large number of them came from 'red diaper' backgrounds.

Leo Casey

Two that leap to mind: Kathy Boudin, daughter of left lawyer and granddaughter of Socialist lawyer, Leonard Boudin. (Or do I have the name wrong? Anyway granddad wrote, "Gov't. by Judiciary, " around '37 and an earlier book around 1910 or so on Marx. See the Buhle book.

And Joseph Clark who wrote for the Daily Worker, had a Weather daughter, Judith. He later joined the Dissent editorial board.

Was it Jeff Gold that had a father who was a utility executive?
