Reading includes books like Cheyenne Autumn, a highly praised 1953 novel about the tribe's 1878-79 return to Montana after exile in Oklahoma.

The remaining 25% of the population, the upper...

That was the period in which Ayers evolved from a bomb-throwing radical into a socially acceptable pioneer in education. At the university in recent days, Ayers' colleagues have circulated letters expressing support. Similar formal statements may soon come from a group of alumni and the university itself. "Bill has nothing to be ashamed about in his scholarly career - it's one that any scholar can take pride in," says Victoria Chou, dean of the College of Education at the University of Illinois here...
