Bill Ayers, who helped lead the Weather Underground as it waged a bloody war against the U.S. government in the 1960s, then went on to a career in academia, recently urged those attending his book promotion to be "good citizens" and "moral people."

Ayers, who retired in 2010 from his post as a professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago, was speaking at the school in support of his latest book, "Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident."
