Ayers DGI connection?

Not just likely, but almost metaphysically certain. KGB would definitely subcontract that kind of business, and they would want to know everything about a character like Ayers. Not as a directed agent, but more as a prophylactic measure – they would want to sterilize any implied link with Ayers’ antics, and prevent any possible back contamination.

Back in the day I hung with a Chicano activist who went to Cuba for the sugar cane harvest. He told an interesting story about DGI’s recruitment and debriefing.
